Recommended Welder

Can anyone recommend someone in the Fife area that does welding on MOT failures, would do it myself but would rather work on me locost, though the revenue could buy something useful.

dont know as yet as I've not seen it, it belongs to a bloke I work with here in Dalgetty Bay so am going to have a quick look at lunchtime when we have the chance.

I believe it's not too serious, its close to the petrol tank on a Toyota Previa? and I think its more a case of its close to a structure point rather than a structural point itself. Might be a quicky, though my experience of these things is there no such thing as a quick welding job.

The MOT is current for another month so its not desparate

Too true.

I put a sill on a Micra a couple of months ago. The welder's never been set so low.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thats HSLA steel for you - great when it is new, bit of a sod when its old!
