welding passenger pans

[MADCIMA]

I'm soldering the patches, what diameter of wire do you use, 0.8 or 1?

Mig welding. Probably a .025 wire

 

[Rennkafer]

Ya, if MIG welding, .023 is usual for 18-20ga auto sheet metal... .030" will do but it's more difficult.

You are brazing? I did that once on a Cuda in the early 80's because it was all I had at the time. Buy a cheap mig welder and go that route instead.

 

[Rennkafer]

I suspect he's translating from Italian and it substituted "soldering" for "welding".

I should have noticed that right off... so you want ~.6mm wire/.023"

 

[65CopCar]

If mig welding, no bigger than 0.8 mm. Prefer 0.6 mm.

whatever works..... I use .030 for everything

Yep ^^^^^^, .030 and crank the heat up.
