Skyline/Pintara rear cal brackets are a steel pressing. From the description of the problem there is insufficient heat input to melt the bracket steel - IOW, all that is being melted is the welding wire and there is no fusion with the bracket. Simply put, more amps are required. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
