That should weld most things, I've welded 1/4" plate with a 160 amp welder.
The only times no gas would be useful is if you run out of gas, or you have
to do welding outside on a windy day.
The weld appearance with gasless wire is a lot poorer than with gas.

Thanks all, I knew the club members would know. As I don't envisage having
to weld sledgehammers(?!) I was thinking of a Clarke MIG 151TE. But still
not sure if there is any merit in having a machine that can do both gas and
no gas. Any thoughts on that?

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
