Welding in adjusters

K@rlos · Dec 28, 2009

I've got hold of another front beam for my 1970 westy and i plan to weld in some CSP adjusters. Which would be better arc welding or mig welding?

If it was me, I'd go for the mig.
Only because Im **** at stick welding :lol: I'd end up with more weld on the teeth (haven't got a steady hand) unless I've had a drink.
And you don't want to start welding in adjusters when your half cut do ya

For strength of wed its doesnt really matter either way. IMHO MIG is more controllable so there less chance of clogging the splines. I think that people like creative even use TIG which is what i think i may use when i narrow and lower my L&P beam purely due to the control of the weld.

I'm quite lucky that i'm a dab hand at both types, just wondered what would be more suitable. got a mig in the shed so thats what i'll use :mrgreen: cheers dudes
