You're still a loser for not doing it

stainless pipe ordered and flanges all ordered (same grade low carbon ss) flange material is 12mm so more then enough to not warp. just need to pick it all up.
rebuilt the welder to make sure its perfect.
All that i need now is some fresh end mills, fresh drill bits, pick up some stainless wire and bottles of argon and an extra regulator.
also waiting for delivery of a external waste gate and strong flex engine mounts.
wondering if its worth designing an top engine mount to help control engine movement a bit more. get a couple of cm rock on my 8valve with sikaflexed mounts and noticed all the 16valves in puntos have a top mount... problem is finding somewhere to mount it to the car

I'm assuming TIG, but...........
Don't get another regulator (or bottle, assuming big bottle, here) just get a two flow guage set up from your local welding supplier -- about 15 squid. You can then use one bottle, one regulator, and do the flow through the guages. Cheaper and easier.
If, though, you'v got an oxy/CO2 bottle, you can use that for the back purge (the reason you use Argon with TIG is just to protect the electrode, rather than the base metal). Some stuff on the Miller site about advantages of not using Argon for back purge, and Miller don't faff about!

not TIG sadly... using mig... had some practice and its pretty easy... point and squirt welding once its all dialed in lol
did lots of research on a mig welding forum (iirc i remember seeing you on there
somewhere) and it should be fine with a mig... wont be sexy like a pro TIG welder will be getting but the manifold will be costing me about £100 not £1000 plan is to get all the bends welded and then smooth all the welds down with a flapper disc before tacking all 4 to the flanges so "should" look good
one bottle with two regulators is what im doing
MIG will be fine, but I'd still go with 1 bottle, 1 reg and two flow guages. I know lots of people use circular flow guages for MIG, but I prefer flow ones (the pea shooter type): easier to see. No need to use pure Argon with MIG, though.

my dad knows a guy near hes work who owns a welding supply store... just going to tell him to give me what I need
ahhh miss read what you said there.
if i use two flow meters and one regulator how would i control flow to each (they would both be the same... guess that wont matter really)

I always use one reg and two flow gauges, but thats tig welding.
Whats the penetration like with mig and stainless? ive never tried it

should be just as good looking at some pro welds they look just as good as some tig welds aswell.
just about getting the settings/angle/speed right (just like any welding)

you got some bits to practice on, and get the machine set up?
Good luckk, looking forward to seeing the finished artical want lots of pictures
