As per the title really, I need someone to tig weld some material onto the rim of one of the wheels I'm refurbing, simple job should take all of 5 minutes. Does anyone have access to a TIG welder or know someone who can do the job for me and not charge very much?

Possibly not :wack:
My boss keeps avoiding this so I'm guessing he doesn't want to! :smash:

Will try again tomorrow though :nod:

this wheel has a chunk in it I can't remove by filing away, I was hoping to get a blob of alloy weld put in so I can grind it back to shape :) don't worry too much mate, don't want to get you in trouble or anything :wack:

It's not that I'd get in trouble or anything - I think He's
A. Not interested. and
B. worried about welding a wheel for safety reasons ect..

I'll try again and show him the pic :)

Ah the safety aspect, I wouldn't worry about that it's purely cosmetic - I was going to use that liquid metal stuff but that sets a horrible grey colour which will look stupid against all the shinyness :smash:

I've no idea what they'd want for it....

This is exactly the sort of mental illness that advans can cause :p

People spend weeks on end filing away at dodgy written off wheels because they are hypnotised by the demonic shape.
