Weld help in So Cal 951

Hey everyone I need some help I was wondering if anyone would be able to come by and help weld in my motor mounts? i live in the 951 area in So cal. Ill rent the welder and buy you lunch and a case of beer. I Dont have much money so I cant take it to a shop = ( but I need to get this done a.s.a.p so I can get my car rollin. anyways if you know anyone that could help out or if you would like to help me out please let me know. thanks so much you guys

 

Send a PM to slddnmatt. He's lives in Arlington(951). Tell him Bad Bob recomended him. Plus he's a Merc guy!

 

A guy in my club is a welder that graduated from UTI..I'll talk to him and see what he says..

 

Cool thanks

 

Aren;t you running a 302 with the rodncustom mounts? They can also bolt in and work just as well.

 

I wish they were bolt in. I bought mine from jamco and when I did a search there wasnt a bolt in kit for a ford motor into a merc wich ****s

 

Well if worst comes to worse, throw the Jamco kit on ebay and go to Rodncustom.com, speedway.com, or ebay. They all have the same kit for around $100. They bolt in and work just fine. I would prefer to weld them in, but if you don't have the resources, bolting them is just fine.

 

Is that like the 909? If you are totally screwed I can help. I have a mobile welder. But see if a local person pops up first.

 

awesome thanks. do you have a link that I could check out for those bolt in mounts?

 

The mounts Solo has are not bolt in, and infact there are no bolt in Merc/SBF mounts.

Bill, the mounts for the shoebox are completely different, the 49-51 Merc mounts are little perches that weld onto the inside of your frame rails on Mercs. You will get the same kit anywhere.

 

I know shoebox/merc aren't the same, but I coulda sworn I remember seeing them being bolt-in somewhere. I also thought yours were too.

Nevermind, get the welder.

 

Anyone? please ill buy two cases of beer! lol

 

I am in Corona. You can bring it by here and I will TIG it for you or if you have 220 in your garage I can TIG it there.

 

I dont have a 220 I was thinking of just renting a welder from home depot. Would that work?

 

Well... Others may disagree... but a lot of welding is knowing the equipment you are using and knowing how to get it setup. I would rather TIG, and I would rather use my welder. Sorry... trying to help, but I also want to do a good job for you.

 

no problem I have no idea about welders so I leave it up to you ill try to figure out a way to bring my merc to you ill get back to you in a few days. thanks so much

 

Any photos of the mounts? Just want to see how think they are and how we are going to be welding them.

 

I dont have a picture but they are wedge shaped.
