Re: Welding?

As a rule of thumb, we (395) never weld. First of all, we don't have the facilities, tools, or training to do it, and we are also afraid of breaking a weld and being unable to repair it in time. We're much more fond of cutting notches in the chassis and bolting the thing together using pressed nylon inserts.
