Some of my tig welding 0.7mm 304s/s to 12mm flange!

DSC_0150_3.jpegthe switch on our 30yr old tig machiene died so I hooked up this as a interim setup to get jobs out. 10amp passageway light switch. Haha, Gold. It's still on the machiene, best switch we've ever had on it!

Man I thought you guys would have loved the welding and improvisation on the switch?
looks good!!!

Thanks it's 304 s/s to 1/2" m/s flange so pretty good. S/s to s/s always looks better. Just got a brand new Kempi tig. Love the old Hobart better. Full analouge pulse system. Just a shame it weighs about 800kg strapped it to a chep pallet with the radiator cooling tank and gas bottle, who says it's not portable?

The Hobart was connected to a 55amp 3phase plug in the old shop and would run 350amps. We only have 30amp plugs in the new shop so can only run it at about 180amps. You can carry the new Kempi on your shoulder plug it in to 15amp single phase and run 200amps. Crazy. Bombed 32 vs new 35. You know the outcome!

bourbon, crumpets and 2 minute noodles it is:408_beers:

She should be ashamed of herself after you went to all the trouble of plugging in the toaster and boiling the water. If you do the dishes you'll be back in her good books!

Bourbon has loads of calories. The crumpets and 2 minute noodles are bad for u.

i put vegemite on the crumpets

 

the veggie goodness will cancel out any badness in the crumpets

If Vegemite is bad for u I'm a dead man, 3 crumpets loaded with the black gold for breakfast every morning!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
