This gives a far stronger joint, and still maintains original height..

just need to remember to pack some welding rods..
Guys it does not damage batteries, but you must use batteries that are in good condition and fully charged
I have welded springs, a caravan draw bar and even a cracked diff ,we tried running 36 volt but found it had way to much amperage and started to blow holes even in 6mm plate.
Yes????????????????????????????????Quote:

ill stick with the batteries out of the car to help prevent any further damage.
Don't ever, never, ever, even remotely ever think about welding a rim with a mounted tyre! :blowup:

I heard welding split rims with tyres on is a real blast
