Need help mounting JLF to conversion plate
MartyKong:
Thanks lilshawn,
Great idea! Sure would've saved me a lot of work. I recently bought a stick welder off of Amazon but probably wouldn't work for spot welding....

if you are very light with your touch and turn the power down, you can lightly (and repeatedly) tack weld a cutoff bolt to a panel without too much burning/distortion using a MIG (wire feed) welder... i don't know that i'd try with a stick welder if i didn't absolutely have to, as they can be more akin to a bull in a china shop. Would not recommend for the average DIY'er, as you could just blow a hole right through the panel that you then have to fill and grind out.
