I will be keen to see the locker design,I may even put one in my new diff

So you are saying that they are welds, I thought they were bird poo[:I]
When we did my first welds, that is what the tech teacher was saying to us......... (LOL)

It is not necessarily the look but the penetration into the steel, but the flow of the material will allow identification of how successful the weld is. Not that you don't already know, just blabbing now. As you were.

Thats a damm precise bird with a steady diet of steel filings.

Thing that takes me the longest is getting the welder to the right setting, i just turn it wherever until it starts to come out good haha
i don't really know what each one does it also a problem

That's alright Phil, having made my own 4 link boxes as well I know how bloody difficult it is to weld in such confined spaces! I reckon you've done alright...

And to top it off, I've decided that mine were a bit light so I'm in the process of double skinning them! [V]

Yeah it is hard to weld in there isnt it[;^)]What thickness material did you use for the boxes Simon?I am double skining the bolt hole area for the arms.This section of the box is made from 1.6mm sheet.

I will second that about it being hard to weld it all up. I made mine link boxes from 1.6mm plate with a double thickness at the bolt hole. So far it hasnt even looked like moving.

phil what sort of welding are you using. i'm not a pro but i find when welding in such small space gas mig with .6 wire as it's only thin sheet also you can turn the gas back a fare bit as you are in a confined space. also i have found i weld much better since i brought an auto darkening helmet.

just my 2.2 cents
