![]() Just revisiting this thread and noticed I had not updated it since June, that means I haven't done anything meaningful to the Dragon for nigh on two months
![]() Anyway that may all change in the near future, I've just bought an AC/DC TIG welder off the bay, I've been bidding on several second hand units over the last month or so but they all went to more than I was prepared to cough up so I've bought a brand new unit. Its a "WSE 200" 200 amp AC/DC tig welder complete with foot pedal (which is damned near vital for aly work) for £350 delivered. I just hope it is as good as its write up. Once I have this machine and a bottle of Argon/regulator I can set to with chopping the sump down and welding up the intake manifold, I have all the bits cut and formed just got to glue 'em all together ![]() ![]() D.

![]() In the same boat as you Davy, not been able to touch my build for the entire summer.
![]() It sounds very much as if you have bought the same TIG welder as me. I was a bit reluctant to go down the budget route but to be honest, I could not justify buying a high end set .... Not a hope in hell of finding a good quality, used single phase set in this neck of the woods. Anyhow I was quite pleased with the TIG welder & it does what it says on the tin. Here's a couple of test pieces that I done to try & get my eye back in .... Been over 20 years since I last TIG welded alloy ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's hoping that your set will work as well as mine.

![]() Well I've just sold my type nine box on the bay, after seven days it had 57 watching it but only one bid and that was right at the end so it went for £50
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Obviously we all use Ebay at some point, some of us use it lots of times, I know I do but it does seem to be patrolled by eejits some days. D.

![]() Thanks for those links guys but they won't be necessary, the gearbox was collected this evening and the guy who won the spare wheel will collect it unless I can get it delivered for less than a tenner, guess he's gonna be collecting it then
![]() Better news is my new TIG welder arrived this morning and looks fan-chuffing-tastic ![]() ![]() "Electric shock-------------may lead to death!!........................................... .....Caution! The machine is mainly used in industry. It will produce radio wave, so the worker should make fully preparation for protection." Can't wait to get started with it, D.
