Unable to make Exeter show ( again )
I have been sulking away in the workshop looking for easy sit down jobs.
Junior gave me a hand to fit the alloy rear panel & I am part way through making the fuel tank
Recently bought an AC Tig welder, inverter type
It works well for a cheap Ching-Chong bit of kit.
Now, I have not tig welded alloy for almost 25 years
& was pleased how quickly I got the hang of things once more.
Here is a test piece I done before starting the tank
2mm alloy sheet, corner weld, no filler rod needed, 2.4mm Zirc tungsten, 110 amp ( ish ), argon flow 10L, number 8 cup.
Here's another of the partly made tank fitted in its place.
Baffle plates & endcaps next
Oh....Get Junior to take me on a jolly to find some alloy tube for the tank fittings !!
