The axle tube is about 2mm thick (yes, i have cut one in half !).
So a decent mig welder should be fine.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Coupe rear axle welding

Dear All,

Just had one of the rear axle supports for the rear brake hose rust through and it now needs replacing. It would be good to not have to remove the rear axle to repair it.

I wondered what the thickness of metal of the rear axle is for welding purposes. Is it thin enough to use a medium size MIG welder on successfully rather than an arc welder? Anyone know?

I am thinking about getting a new MIG welder as this is the second small welding job recently and I have a few projects in mind for the year ahead.

Thanks

Derek
