Mobile welder sought, Yorkshire area

[bigfella70]

Hi folks, I'm in the process of recommissioning a 1973 Triumph GT6.

My welding experience is very limited and I don't have a MIG machine. Part of the recommissioning will be to weld 2x short gusset sections which go between the main chassis rail and front crossmember. The rest is very solid and these sections are vulnerable to the elements.

The sections are available New for sensible money hence patching not worth considering.

Rather than taking the car to a garage I'd like to get the work done on site (North Leeds area) and I am quite happy to remove old sections with angle grinder, prep the area, provide tea, bacon sarnies etc etc. 

What I'm after is someone who is competent with welding and has the gear to do the job. Happy of course to pay the going rate for this work and help out where possible. The car is indoors in a decent size garage with good light, power etc and the repair area is easily accessible.

Hence question is, could anyone recommend someone for this work? I'd be looking at getting this done towards the end of April timescale wise.

Cheers in advance for any recommendations!!

I’ve used Mantasport for welding before. He’s very fair on price and does an excellent job. He’s not mobile though, you would have to take the vehicle to him in Wetherby.

Wish you were nearer ,ive just started back up mobile welding around birmingham.

Welding the crossmembers alone probably won't give you a dramatic increase in rigidity though. You would probably need to box the frame (at least near the suspension points) in order to get the rigidity you are looking for. You will also probably need to change the rear suspension design to a four bar w/ panhard bar, or at least switch to some rear trailing arms that are more rigid. You will also need to replace some of the front end components (tubular upper and lower a-arms, etc.) to take advantage of the rigid frame.

Did you find someone to do your welding mutewitness or are you still looking for someone?.
