tenyearguarantee Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 hey ive just got my hands onto a tunnel out of a cefiro, its to replace the tunnel in my ke10 so that my gear box will fit nicely (as opposed to making on from scratch) what's the best way to weld it in? butt welds or have it like a lap joint? if i do a lap joint how do i prep it so that there isnt any mosture between the two contacting faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Mine is overlapped, just use seam sealer to keep moisture out combined with some good rust preventive paint like POR15. Its not really an area where you are likely to get a lot of moisture buildup.Callum Good advice here ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a mastick type sealer such as XXXX brand chassis sealant. It comes in a caulking tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ^ yea seal the seam after but where the bits will overlap get some good weld through primer it doesnt burn off when you weld and adds abit of extra protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
