Fully welding
 
I'm fully welding the chassis but I have a few questions. Do you have to seam weld everywhere two tubes meet .e.g. Rs5 and rs7a on the rear suspension ( all down the length ). Could this just be tacked every couple of inches ? Another couple are the CP10 diff support brackets.

Cheers

Fully weld all of the diff mounting brackets.

Stitch weld the two rear bits that make up the rear seat back area.
Weld an inch or two. Miss an inch or two.
On the reverse side weld the sections that do not have any weld the other side ;)

All other joints & components, fully weld :)

Its amazing you cleanup some joints and by the time you've got the welder out they've you can't find them. Then when you do find them, theres some more of the b*ggers !! And I thought this was the easy bit.
