It has been a mixture of students and mentors. Despite being an EE, I've become our main welding mentor; I think I'm the only one crazy enough to do it.
We've been using Hobart MaxalTIG 3/32" and 1/16" 4043 filler, green (pure) tungsten electrodes, and 100% Argon. (All generously donated by a sponsor, Delta Gas and Welding Supplies!) We just got some ChemSharp for sharpening electrodes and I swear that stuff is magic...SO much better than grinding. We use the Miller footpedal and a Weldcraft A-150 flex valve torch.
Our Diversion 165 is pretty light for some of the stuff that we do, so it has been maxed out most of the season. A few of our weldments required multiple passes with preheating. It does great for 1/8 and 1/16 wall tubing, though. We've gotten some X-Ray-quality welds on that material.
Kit wheel? Someone probably has them. N-tooth IFI sprocket? You might get lucky. Part Made By A Local Company When You're Competing 800 Miles Away? Bring three. - Billfred [more]
