Well had a great night tonight nearly finished my roll bar but cocked up one of the welds on the seat belt mountings right in the corner between the threaded insert and the cross member. Has anyone got any good ideas on how to remove unwanted weld where a grinding disk is not accessable ? If not guess I will have grind the whole thing off and start again

A die grinder would get in there

As said, a Dremel. I had a blob run on an upright weld and though sound it looked awful. Takes a while with a stone on the Dremel but definitely worth the time.

Thanks guys looks like I need to buy a Die grinder just to get the bits. Will give this a try as its preferable to cutting off the braket

You should be able to buy the stone you need and put it in a drill. Die grinders arnt cheap if you only need to grind one mistake

rotery burr in the drill as drills are a bit slow for stone bits

Well after destroying several grinding bits probably because the drill doesnt rev quick enough the dodgy weld now looks better than all the others. Many thanks for your help, as always if you know the name of the tool you actually need you can normally sort the problem
