Patrol is fueled up and packed. Ready to launch at 4am tomorrow for a much awaited trip to Merimbula. The last two years were thwarted by fires and then border lockouts.
Can’t bloody wait!

Cheers mate. Since 12am today we’ve had 95mm of rain. Last night was epic. In all the 40 odd summers I’ve been here never had I experienced what we got last night.

Looking like a turd on a rock I decided to modify the carrier and make it 140mm longer.
So the fun begins.

After seeking advice from a mate who welds for a living I’m going to give it a crack. Even though he offered to do it for me. How silly am I?
Using 3mm thick steel I was advised to use my arc welder instead of my mig which is only 135amp. I maybe pushing the boundaries on strength with my mig. But he said to run a test weld and see how it fairs first.
I’ll get more done tomorrow night hopefully.

Hi mate, I'm doing well thanks. I hope your keeping out of trouble.
Funny you say that John. This was suggested by my welder mate. Which I plan on doing. I just got to get a bit of angle, the piece I have is too big.

Mark, as you have good access inside where you cut off the bearing holder, you could weld a length of flat bar in there then drill holes in both the insert piece and the original RHS and plug weld them with the MIG.
You could even do that on the 3 sides (maybe angle iron for 2 sides) where you have access for plug welding. If you then weld that insert piece in place and flapdisk it all it will look original and much cleaner than external angle iron added on.
