The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Mig will still have a heap of spatter. Not quite as bad as flux core but plenty. If you want spatter free you will need to tig it

If your getting lots of spatter you need to spend a little more time on the setup. You wont get it spatter free but you can certainly have very minimal spatter when the welder is setup accordingly.

yeah my welder is a very basic model with 2 switches ( 1 - 2, hi - lo) and line speed. It is also only 140amps and i was welding 4mm plate so basically had it on High and line speed 8/10. I think if i slow the line speed down and slow the welding down, its already slow it may well reduce the splatter. I am satisfied that i got good penetration though which is the main thing at this stage

I remember now.. was just wondering if you could close the gap a bit by lowering the pipe down the plate a bit and then place a gusset above it to add more strength..
Also remember you want to pull a Flux core mig.. same as the stick..
When there is slag, you'd wanna drag..
Normal gas mig you push..
But also gas less you'll need to run hot.. if your worried about it dropping threw back off the heat and wire..
With that sorta gap full peno will not be an issue lol..
