Well boys.. I know some of you on here love a good weld...








This is a Milton Race Prep strut brace for an Anglia and retails at £65.00 with no vat....

Just makes you wonder why you ever bothered with all this modern stuff


And this bloke is welding up the cage in my new Anglia Track Car....


Ooooh the sex wee will be flowing when he's finished

 

that man has skills looks machine done

 

Nice

 

Thats impressive

 

Thats a fine stick weld.

 

 

That is weld nice mate

 

pass the slippers, pipe and smoking jacket!!!

 

genius!!!

 

Is it wrong for me to get excited by things like this!lol. What top mounts are they matey?

 

looks spot on that!

 

Thats some quality welding there, cant wait to see his ahndiwork on your cage

 

 

spot on

 

nice and even, good presentation although very slight undercut

now cut through and check it has a good route run? haha

looks very good

 

as said slightly under-cut, but also by having weld curves that far apart from eachother shows lack of side wall penertration as well as corner.. best be a nice dam route in there or its IMHO rubbish, and 'weiving' is only a recognised welding as a cap for verticle welds

 

Its not wrong mate.... getting excited by two dogs shaggin in the street is wrong.... but this is proper engineering.... Man Stuff !! So its ok

The top mounts are the Milton Race Prep full adjustable eccentric ones, they are made for the Anglia, they may fit other vehicles, I'll check with Kevin and let you know

 

Also having a bit of this kind of thing too.....


Although this isnt my car, this is a cossie powered Anglia that should be out later this year

 

I think its wrong to not get excited, just bare in mind how much of this stuff holds together everyday things you use...

miracles of technology i say

 

Keith

You be careful if you see this in your rear view mirror....

It may cause you to spill your Sunny Delight

 

 

I remember seeing something on the telly recently that an inch of weld will hold a tonne in weight.... and they demonstrated it with a crane and a fookin big weight.


Part of my point was, if you look in the Burtons catalogue or Rally Design or Demon Theives there aint many places you can buy a strut brace as elegant as this with such neat welding for £65

I guess the closest will be the new Retro Ford Escort Strut braces that Burtons are selling.

 

You sure you weren't a tutor when i done my welding city n guilds.

 

Looks pretty....doesn't look that strong though, from an untrained eye's perspective!

 

Sorry Andy, as nice as they are, the top mounts are Anglia only

 

Its a strut brace ! Not the Forth Bridge

 

cheers buddy, price and details?
Andy

 

you got a thread going on your Anglia Neil??

If not sort one

 

Nice but not as nice as my tig weld

 

looks just like your average mig weld to me , now if it was tig then it would be especially nice , and probably alot stronger due to less heat more penetration oooooooooww eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr

 

yeah i appreciate that, at 17 is that sad?

 

The worrying thing is your strut brace is probably stronger than the Forth Road Bridge!!!!!!!!!!!! I should know I cross it daily

 

Hmmmmmm Hardly...


There are very few people who can mig weld as nice as this and as consistantly as this, you just have to look at the cars featured in the likes of Classic Ford & Retro Cars... I mean... did anyone see the Chevette HS thing in Retro Cars last month, on Page 28... he hadnt even dressed the welds twas a shocka !


If you want Tig welded stuff then have a look at the new Escort Strut braces that Burtons are selling, they are made by Retro Ford and they are all tigged.

 

Its an original Ford colour, Lombard Grey, but in the pics it looks almost Military......

 

Which one mate ?

I've got 3 on the go at the minute.

I've got a proper 60's sleeper, an Anglia van with a Shorrock supercharger on it

I've just bought a 43,000 proper old school minter with all Milton Race Prep suspension etc

And the track project which will be running a 200BHP Zetec with Quaife box and slipper, aswell as all the Milton Race Prep stuff.



Check out the Gallery on my forum http://105Speed.hyperboards.com there are some interesting projects in there....

One guy is sticking an S2000 motor in an Anglia

Another guy has a turbo'd up Nissan Motor....


Its all happening in the world of Old School lads....

 

does look nice welding but at the end of the day all that matters is it does the job
id rather have a weld thats strong than a pretty looking weld thats weeker than my snotters thats not aimed at the strut brace in case u think it is

 

neilm

Liking the sound of the van and the ZT items

pics of yours in there too?? You know me Im more interested in the buildups than the shiney finished pics lol

anyway Ive registered and will "browse"
