Wishbones seam welded...

I've seam welded the wishbones today at work.

Also threw them in one of the ovens we make for 45 minutes at 200 degrees and then slowly allowed them to cool - so they are now seam welded and de-stressed.

Will paint tomorrow and fit the Prothane bushes.

 

Not bothered with powder coating then? have you tidyed up that squirrel poo welding too

 

Yeah - not sure why they went like that first time round.

Dead smooth this time though...

Not gonna powder coat them - haven't got the time or mponey to do all the bits i want.

 

everyone told me not to bother, should I belt the curb it'll wreck the shell... (I did it anyway of course )

 

Simple solution - don't belt the kerb!

yeah thats what I figured, anyway, if I clip the curb that bad then sod it, re-shell the engine (again) its not a great body anyhow.

 

tell us if you find any difference in the feel of it.

 

Dont the customers complain when youre heating car parts up in the same oven as the bread??????

 

mine came seam welded from the factory

 

what difference will it make?

 

Fuck all

Better off goin wide track and usin the heavier duty wishbones

 

It might not make any - but it might make a bit.

To be honest it's cost nothing - only 5 mins of time i get paid for anyway. So it seems stupid to put in solid top mounts, posh coilovers and Poly bushes and potentially have 'some' flex in the wishbones.

And Motorhead - the ovens we make don't do bread. We have 3 that VW Motorsport forged pistons pass through, 4 that Seat intercoolers pass through for drying, 1 that williams F1 carbon fibre nose cones get cured in, 1 that Ferrodo race brakes pads get de-embrittled in....

 

I have a small oven that reheats my kebab then goes ping........

 

wishbones????

Arent they part of a chicken?

 

Thats my point....doesnt it make the bread smell

 

Such a name dropper..its not big and its not cool

 

HIJACK! I have wider track courtesy of my et 24 bbs wheels/ Why does my car now handle crap? The higher et I use, the better it handles. The best I have had is on et 38 wheels of the same diameter (15 inch). It now understeers badly even with my quaiffe.

 

It's to do with the scrub radius and kpi.

Do a web search, it'd take me a day to explain.

 

Kool. Hijack over...
