Anyone in the Windsor area have a portable welder, and knows how to use it.?

I'm fixing up a couple of things on the caravan and need to spot weld (lock up) a handful of bolts.

turn it up to :burn ababy burn" and shut your eyes and poke it at the bit you wanna weld. :lol:

once finished, open eyes and see if bolt is still there, or melted to nothing :lol:

Got a decent Mig you can borrow...for as long as you want, its even in team colours but I don't have time to get out there & help in the next few weeks.... I am swamped atm.
Its loaded up on a trolley with a fresh bottle of argo ;)
I also have access to Tig & a swag of stick welders of various sizes.

Failing the good looking ones offer before me ;) and if you're up our way you can have mine, it's an Ozito gassless mig welder.
I'm worst in using it, than riding a bike :roll:

Do you have a welder though.?

Just have to tack 8 bolt heads on the suspension brackets to stop em rotating... They had a spline in em but its worn away.

I've got an Aldi special stick welder still in it's box. It's only a little thing but ought to be just fine for a couple of spot welds.

However getting P4nza to do it would probably be safer.
