Welding

Hi

Advice/help...

We are fitting a bolt in roll cage to a rover 200 and need two plates to be welded into the floor to accept the legs/bolts of the cage.

(seems bolt in isnt always what it seems...)

We have access to a welding machine but our welding is not perfect (certainly in finished look)

Questions -
1 - would welding on something like this be scruitineered for an endurance rally? And fail?
2 - can anyone recomend a welder in Chelmsford area ? Car also in bits but could probably get it driveable to somewhere...

Thanks
Rob

Welder

Mike Thomas (cyclone motorsport Wickford 01268 764321) engineers and fits custom cages amongst other things. Very good welder

He made light work of all the extra engineering required to fit a sump guard to my Forester last week

Have MIG will travel......

The other half is doing some long horsey ride or other this Sunday morning, I could pop over and assist if you like. Have welded cage plates in a variety of things over the years, but never a Rover.

I'll second a recommendation

I'll second a recommendation for Mike Thomas, he built a custom cage for the Micra.
