[QUOTE="phishplate, post: 16188720, member: 195061"] Alright I am back. About me... 25 years in welding and fabrication. Enough welding qualifications to choke a horse. TIGAW, SMAW, MIGAW, SAW, Oxyfuel welding, and brazing. I have welded and fabricated just about everything. From Harley Davidson gas tanks(For Harley) to enormous earth moving equipment.

I have yet to actually see one of these brackets break :D) to high end Porsche 911's that someone made the mistake of teaching their daughter how to learn to drive stick shift in :D I have fabbed and welded for racing teams as well as custom car shops who are very picky about how a weld looks over its functionality :D I have done this off of blue prints, technical descriptions, verbal instructions, or the cocktail napkin drawing that someone handed my boss while drunk at the bar.
