Hi, I've made a flange for my motorbike carbs to fit onto my zetec, i've cut the tubes to match to the head.
What would be the best way to get these welded up??

I've been told not to try and do it myself, cause its hard apparently. (my motto-everythings hard to do -til you try+learn)

There's no friendly companies in my area that specialise in this-alloy welding i mean?

Do arc welders work with alloy too?

Cheers Any advice welcomed.

The person that told you its hard is right pop to a local welders and give them a drink mate will save loads of greif and no you cant stick weld alloy needs to be done on a tig to make it nice and neat

Tig is the most controllable way, but MIG will do it perfectly as well.
TIG is NOT hard, when you have learnt, and got all the electric shocks out of the way.
MIG is easy, but I would use TIG for this, there will be local firms that do it in your area, unless you live in a cave!!

MIG won't make avery smart job of it tho, also you'd need different gas cos neither pub gas of argoshield uni will be suitable, I'd rather silicone it than mig it.
If you made it from stainless then mig and stick would be an option

Tig not hard my arse i do it for a living mate give it to a welder mate as for mig welding it dont bother looks s++t

maybe if you said where you are, you may get some offers of help????
I'd tig it rather than mig, but thats because i've just bought a tig, and I'm using it for everything even mild steel on a mini!!!
