Located around the block. Seller not listing much info other than $50 take it or leave it. What do you make of this, I'm thinking for all purpose vise it might work? Can any of your aficionados tell much the pic?

My error, not pressure force. See attached: Tip diameter is dependent on the thickness of the joining materials. If they are not the same thickness you could have a different diameter tip on each side. RP PS in general I found the tip diameter goes like 0.10" +2*t = D

So now that I seem to be generating decent welds, I'm going to start working on a cart to store it, use it on, I came up with this for the time being. The idea being that in the future I can stick a 2x2 steel tube in the up right and support a tool counterbalance on it, and perhaps even a foot...

If the stator coils were shorting and melting together it would have been overheating / smoking. If it just stopped working you might be able to get lucky and find something wrong. How did the armature slip rings and brushes look?

Hi guys, I hear you on the Lenco spot welder. When I started this endeavor I came across that and even saw that Jason White was using it. I mean he does master restorations so if he relies on it has to be good. It was also the only one outside of HF that offered new products. It appeared...

Hard to tell from that photo, The only way to know for sure is to have the coils tested. But that's beyond a voltmeter and for the cost of a new motor it's probably not worth it. If you have a electric motor shop near to you you might have it tested - or just replace it. Is it doing anything...

Ugh, I'm a non professional and the politicalization of electrification has just turned me sour to the entire conversation. I have a great air compressor and assortment of air tools. I've been accused of "abandoning my roots" when I was younger. That's a long story and debatable, but there...

Hey Thanks for following! Well they are widely available for '66-'73 though Osborn reproductions. Take a look at CJ pony parts if it's avail for '91. I am not sure of that.... RP PS there are also wiring, chassis assembly books ect....

One vote for Quincy. I bought a factory rebuilt one 35 years ago and I think I only just changed the oil twice.... I you are using air tools, I think the compressor noise will be the lesser of your problems. RP

Mr. Freeze, That looks fantastic! Congratulations! I did want to avoid making this thread about the project, but it appears that is too interesting of a topic to leave ambiguous. My retromod years are behind me. While I want to stay as close as possible to stock and factory, I may make some...

Thank you, Bill, I did see parts of that Ford doc before, but I couldn't find the whole thing. It seems to indicate a minimum nugget diameter of .173. In that case I am golden with this setting. Even though the document is from 2002, it tells a lot. The 67 weld sealant manual (See photo)...

So, I've striked out of the moment on a Ford Specification for class 3 spot welds, but I did have a friend who promised a sample from scrapped 1967 ford parts. I'll try the peel test and see how that compares to my settings. Now to move on to the weld prep. I've tried the three options I...

Hey 930, I wanted to avoid making this thread about the project - but you are absolutely right. Some context is required. The project is a 1967 Mustang. I'll be working closely with the "Weld / Sealant assembly manual". Now that I have selected my welder and apparently have it working...

That's how I fix those sort of things when I don't have the required capability. Typically for me that involves sheet metal bending. Where is the OP located. I'd accept coffee for that as well... RP

Hello gang! So I have decided that after I finish my current project in a year from now - I am going to start a new automotive project. In this project I’ll be trying to recreate factory assembly methods. This means I’ll be employing a lot of spot welding. It may be impossible to do this to...

$300.00 *sigh* someday when I grow up LOL.... RP PS is there a low buck alternative?

Yes, and that's if you can find it. I'd buy a new grinder first I think it's on the order of $30 - $50. I believe that when the gearbox heats up It may melt and drop back into the mix of moving parts. Keeps the bulk of the grease off the gears maximizing efficiency. But that's just a guess...

I ask a lot of questions here and try to give back where I can. Thanks for following. I'm sure it will die in the middle of a big job - then I'll replace it. But at least I tried!!! :ROFLMAO:

Hello Guys, I'd like to update this thread. I purchased the Sunex air hammer. The reviews from the TTC channel and Hohn's advice was just too convincing. Unadvised, I probably would have purchased the IR at twice the price. I am not sure what the old one I had was, but I am pretty sure I...

Okay Gang, Just a follow up to this topic. Like I mentioned before there seems to be no consensus for the grease to use, so I'll document this here in case a future member digs it up. I purchased the StayLube Moly grease and new brushes as well. I tried to use the same amount of grease I saw...
