    :confused: Can it be done, please? I mean, I think I understand it's a bit fumie? But, honestly, we'll only be talking literally four spots.

    Thanks.

    Yeah shouldn't be a problem.Like you've said plenty of noxious fumes though.

    If you have a gas torch you can burn off the galavanised coating before you weld it to the steel or maybe even grind it down first.

    Drink some milk beforehand...It'll help with the fumes..:)

    Cool. Thanks :)

    I've just stepped back in from poring over the actual job. Having peered at it from various angles and rubbed my chin a bit, my actual words to myself were; " Get Pat in here to have a look at it. "

    He's the one who'll be doing it. I'm the only grown man in Leitrim who doesn't know how to weld :o
