Welding quessie. Harve maybe?

Hi,

 

Does anyone know what thickness of steel I'm supposed to use to weld bodywork?

 

I've ripped everything out of my engine bay to get at a few rusty bits and as I suspected a couple of bits need welding on each of the inner wings.

Thing is I do have some bits of metal about a 1mm (not sure exactly gotta get em out the loft) but I'm not sure what thickness I'm supposed to be using, any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Jezz.

    1mm should be fine, unless its near a sus' mount or something else of structural importance, then go to 1.2mm.

    & if you can - hire a tig welder! esay to use & NO sparks to go on windows etc wink.gif.

    Good point about the sparks and spatter Harve.

     

    Jezz, if you cannot get a tig welder, cover all glass with thick cardboard.

     

    Regards
