Mate I bet your file size is too big ! try resizing your pictures .. ringo should be able to help with that .. I gave up years ago posting pictures to fp off my computer because they all turned up side down !!! I only up load them from my phone now !

Thank you mate ! I am so proud of myself that I can weld aluminium now !!!

Welds getting better and better !!! I justA have to practice I feel !!

Well done mate

Or a vacuum hose to the trans ? what transmission do you have Paul ?

Dwight, justA wire in a big flashing red light as an over temp on the bronco so she can’t cook it !!! And hay ! You know we love pictures around here !! How about one of the bronco ?

Gees mate !!! what a mess ! the things we do for our kids aye !!!! your vw storey sounds like the bosses bmw mini we used to have !! It was a heap of shot . R50 model with a chain drive auto ! The thing only had 87k kms on it when the chain broke ! I thought I could fix it !!! , no no no ! They have to be reprogrammed to the motor once you rebuild them !! I was quoted more that the heap was worth ! So I just cut my losses and sold it ! I feel for you mate !! Talk about sucking up all your time , when you could have been doing something for your self ! still that’s what we do for family aye !

Dwight !!! Hello Mate !!! soooo long no chat !!! what have you been up too ? thank you so much for the tips!!! my first go at tig aluminium welding was last weekend … I so enjoyed the challenge !!! I will turn my balance down into the negative.. and I had to go buy another tungsten! I burnt the whole rod up !!! regardless of that !!! what have your been up too ????

last indian, is so onto it !! And i am going to sound like fitzy here paul ! dont trust anything aftermarket as being "good"

paul, justA go through the basics... one thing i note is you havent changed the plugs ? what brand are they ? i would be replacing them ! i am using these ngk also, check your points, and same there, if in doubt, replace them

So not using lead anymore wrongway . It’s a thing of the past ! JustA like using my old school soldering iron .. used to sweat solder galv spouting , flashings water tanks .. don’t do any of that anymore either !

I justA enjoy learning new shit mate . isn’t that the spice of life ?

I am using what they call light blue which is a aluminium specific tungsten.. And am grinding the tip to a ball shape When grinding the tungsten you have the rod facing the stone . Not at 90degress to the grinding wheel . To create the ball shape and using a stainless steel wire brush to clean my metal , not a steel wire brush.. that a big no no

mate ! back in the day i was taught how to lead welt, sheet lead, i relate this to that, back then we used a oxy/act torch, with a super small flame, it was a art !! now its a electic tig version ! i love it !! so enjoy using tools that make life easier ! all that i have to do is get my setting right ... clean material and breath !!! and be patient. heck its justA hot pool and add filler rod !!! sounds sooo easy ! This is my tig welder super basic unit You can see I have the balance set way towards ac positive … I think that’s why I am melting my tungsten

I have been working in my tunnel house and building frames to support my hydroponic channels .. so I am teaching myself how to weld aluminium .. here is my first attempts i am eating up tungsten, which i have read up is because i have my balance set way towards postive and need to turn it to negetive on my tig welder settings... clearly i have lots to learn any ali welders out there that could give me some advise

This guy Hahaha 🤣
