Title: MIG Welding
Post by PJDavis on Sep 27^th, 2014, 4:53pm

When MIG welding the car to just put a wee patch in the rear wheel-arch, what should I disconnect? Just the battery and Alternator??

I would disconnect them both and make sure there isn't a fuel leak lol.

I use a ,sealey surge protector, you dont have to disconect anything, Up to now no problems.

put the earth clamp as close to where you are welding as possible,

take the boot side carpets off and keep a water source near, there is sealant in the arches that burns well, and you will only see / access the flames from inside the boot (from personal experience ::))
