WELDING

7. After you are sure that you have the correct dimensions and have the ends oriented correctly they

can be tack welded. We recommend that you tack them in at least 4 places. The tacks should be

located at 90° to each other. Tack both ends of the housing.

8. Double check all your measurements. When you are satisfied that every thing is correct go ahead

and finish weld the ends. We recommend that you weld ¼ of the way around at a time; weld from

tack 1 to tack 3 then tack 4 to tack 2. Move to the other housing end and follow the same

sequence. Now go back to the first end and weld from

tack 1 to tack 4 and then tack 2 to tack 3

then move to the other end and complete the welding following the same sequence.

NOTICE

If you are going to be welding on brackets, back braces or other items we strongly suggest that

all of this welding be done prior to putting the housing ends on. By leaving the ends to the last

any heat induced warpage will be compensated for when the ends are installed. This will give

you best possible results and the straightest housing.

9. After all welding is complete let the housing cool to room temperature before handling. DO NOT

artificially cool the welds with water, air or any other method. Cooling to quickly may cause

weld cracking and result in failure.
