What amps would i be looking at and what rods to do a sill repair? checking over the car today before the MOT next week and stuck me bloody finger through the rear sill down near the rear wheel arch, i just need to patch it to get it through the MOT until i can sort out some replacement panels from MJP at some point and get it done properly.

 

I have a 130amp arc welder just need to know what rods id need to use and what setting to put it on so i don't put more holes in it, and i get a good weld.

UPDATE:

 

Just nipped the car up the place i was going to get it MOT'ed from, their welder popped out, looked at my handy work and inspected it, said just sand down the surrounding area paint it black and say its already been done, as the filler is rock solid and too small lol

 

He said if it fails, then he will weld it but will only take him 15mins lol.

 

So car is now booked in for a week thursday :D

Nice one. Good to see that some of their guys are using their head!
