verticals TT4 and TT5

[DaveyB]

Hi
i was welding up the transmission tunnel last night following the book tacking TT4 and TT5 together then welding in TT7,TT9,TT11. Then when finished thought should i of completlely welded the verticals TT4 and TT5. will it matter that this part of that assembly is not fully welded as TT7,TT9 and TT11 will be fully welded around it. Am i worrying unnecessarily hope this makes some sense to someone.
Thanks
Dave

As long as you weld every joint visable to a reasonable standard it will be fine.

Hi
Thanks for the speedy response, it was helpful,on the subject of welding i wondered if you could help with the following question when fully welding CP3&4 with the shock mounts etc. should i add CP5,6&7 and stich weld them on the inside or fully welding them or should i wait until they are in situ? thanks again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fully weld the M8 nuts and shock bracket on first, be carefull they are handed, a marker pen is very usefull to mark which way round they go (ie top front NS OS ,yes I've done that mistake more than once! Tack the whole assembley together and check with a sprit level front to back left to right. Seam weld the rear suspension assembly round the out side completely. when you turn the chassis over weld the ends of the tubes and put a couple of stich welds around the inside. If your using a hobby type mig I'd wind it up as high as it will go when doing the inside stich welding.
