Mr Sam Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 how acceptable is this, ill just whack some filler in the wing....it fell out but the floor WILL need welding wont it? as much as i want to try and get something a little newer its not going to take to much effort to get the old girl through another one, just these bits the exhaust and a rear brake as far as im aware
Muttley MK2 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Is the hole within 30cm of steering brakes or suspension?
Mr Sam Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 does that include the very bottom of the brake pedal might be best to weld it incase, see this time last year the hole was allready there i couldnt weld though so patched it with fiberglass and filler
Muttley MK2 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Bit naughty I know but the tester is not allowed to damage fresh paint or underseal. He can only tap lightly with his little plastic hammer, nudge nudge wink wink
Mr Sam Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 yeah thats what i did, undersealed that corner and my tester has a little metal hammer still he is good and helps best he can tells me exactly what needs doing and a rough discription of how todo it
mk14dr Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Sam I thourght you had a welder? A little patch is easy peasy and its all practice D
Mr Sam Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 i do indeed, i keep meaning todo it..........i get a wet leg when it rains
FredTransit Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 I know the within 30cm rule, but were cars unsafe before it came out? No. I actually think it's within 30cm of a load bearing point, so if that was the inner wing with a shock absorber I would be more concerned if it was my car, but if that was my wing I would shove some filler in it. The floor would be best welded though.
Mr Sam Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 thank ya just got a full exhaust £17.50 inc VAT beats £70 at a garage i tryed
Ratters Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 by the time you 'bodge' the floor sam would be just as quick to plate it plus it's all practice & experience too
baz105e Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 i 30 cm from any steering, braking or suspension MOUNTING and on the wing as long as there is no sharp edges then it sould pass (hense mondeos with grey jaffer tape on bumpers etc btw sam the more metal thats missing the lighter the car
Burns Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 just got a full exhaust £17.50 inc VAT a new one?
Rick Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 you can weld, it wont take half hour to weld them up you can tidy them up any day
lee_capri Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 sma if i was you id just plate it up matey you no it's done then and hopefully wont get any-bigger
Mr Sam Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Posted February 6, 2008 just got a full exhaust £17.50 inc VAT a new one? yup (uni part ) (on a mates staff discount *shhh*) you can weld, it wont take half hour to weld them up you can tidy them up any day sorry what was that, too busy gawping at the sig
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 just plate the floor 10 min job and if you hold somthing behind the wing and filler it as its a jagged edge so could fail for that
