Damn, wish I had known that. I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks. I like my welds to look good even though it's on a part that most people will never see.

Take your Sunday off! It doesn't make the board run slower or anything, so fix it later;-)

Ah... Dan? "Welcome, Mat73GNZ. You last visited: 9 Hours Ago at 01:14 AM Private Messages: Unread 65535, Total 216."

It's 1 7/8" dia.

Come on man, TWIN TURBO!

Jim, I was just copying what Ron Tyler had made. 1/4" thick material is well, a bit thick, but I know it's not going to fail! Wire has a shelf life? Did not know that. I'll have to pick up some new wire then, because this stuff is a couple years old. I bet that's my problem. Thanks.

Not sure which ones those are, but here's the gland nuts I have. They have a 1 1/8" hole.

Most of them are spoken for, but I might have one or two to sell to you guys.

As soon as I have the patches. I just don't want to deal with having people's money, and then deal with the posts here and on my e-mail wondering where the product is that they paid for. When I have the patches, I will let ALL of you know. Capeesh? Alright

The spools of wire are kept inside. I keep my tools impeccably clean (i'm kind of anal about that). If it was sitting for a while, it probably wouldn't matter. 1/4" is as far as the weld pak-100 can go. It shows on the instructions if I was to go 1/4", I should switch to flux core wire @ .035" with liner and tip. The welds penetrated great (slightly more than halfway through the material), besides the splattering of the flux cored wire (which makes it look like crap). This is the last of 1/4" material that I am welding right now, but I have a few pieces to work with, to see if everything is okay. Yes, the welds are structural. The forces implied are huge! BUT, I am confident that each diff. mount will serve its purpose. I will enlarge the tip Brad for any future projects and report back any problems. Thanks for the help guys.

I have some gland nuts laying around. What is the size you need?

Yup, checked the spool, it moves fine and it's right on the edge of letting it unwind into a rats nest. So, no problems there. I checked the tip and it's the right tip for the wire being used. I tried to see what the problem was by just pulling the trigger and watching the spool and feeder, but it wouldn't do it while I was watching it. It would only happen after a few seconds of welding.

It was decent weather today, so I finally got around to welding up some Ron Tyler style differential mounts that I had cut out a while back. Since the metal was 1/4" thick, I had to use flux core .035 wire. I had the correct liner installed for the wire I was using, but while I was welding, the wire would stick, then unstick, then stick and unstick, creating crappy welds and a very frustrated Mat. I checked the feeder and it was tight enough. What else could cause the wire to stick like that? Is the liner worn out? Oh, I have a Lincoln Weld-Pak 100. Also, it sucks going back to flux core wire from using gas pretty much since I bought this welder. There is so much crap left behind and the welds don't look good enough for me, but well, penetration was good and they work.

Sweet! I'm gonna grab my So Co 100 proof and join ya there:lol:

Thanks! It will be out of storage and back where I can work on it in about a month and then there will be a thread about it being ALIVE!

It's for 18 years of age and older.

Man, at this point, if everyone buys what they say, I will only have a few Hybrid Z patches left Well, we'll see how these 100 patches goes and if there is more interest, then I'll do another group buy later on.

If there isn't any more problems with the patches, then I would say yes, you will have the Hybrid Z patch in time for the Pinks race. Tyson, I'll PM you.

Haha *sound of a plane flying over my head* I should have looked closer at your pictures.

Your last picture sure threw me off, but when I did a headstand, then things were put in perspective. I guess reading this whole thread would be ideal, but would you be able to mount the main hoop in the seatbelt retractors like I did?

I'm in also Terry.

Haha, this post is so old I tell you guys what, I found the original pictures not to long ago and will place them back in the original post. I can't help but to look back and laugh at this.

Got a response from Bob today and he said he will just make 100 patches, so I think we are covered now.

Whoa, he's alive! Where have you been? You disappear now and then. I have coilovers plus sectioned struts and I don't have this issue on my '73. Do you happen to have a picture of your setup?
