Welding and custom metalwork...

Post by Merlin »

's up?

1. I need a roofrack repaired PROPERLY. It needs very fine welding and needs to be smoothed afterwards...I don't want the welds seen.

2. I need someone to bend a small bar and rework it so that it can have a top screwed onto it, etc. to repair my wheelchair with.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, N.

:s

Next time I'm out at the bee-baa, I'll take a pic of the wheelchair lock for you, and see how it gets removed...perhaps I can send it your way...it's not a very complex bit.

Probably about 15cm in length, with a 30' or so degree bend in it.

The top has a screw-on plastic cap, but I've forgotten what the bottom looks like...

It's one of the locks that holds the wheelchair to the floor rails.

Cheers, Nic.

Shot Chris.

I think I've filled all my time slots after work and on weekends and my weekends until the end of the decade.

Crikey, I need a clone - or three. :o

Thanks for the offer. I'll definately take you up on it as soon as I get a chance.

Cheers, N.
