Hi, cut off the seam in sections



weld up cut seam , then cut off the remaining seam and weld up.



grind off the weld a little, not too much (keep the stength), knock in the joint
a little to allow for filler and prime



i used a fibre glass filler first



then a polyester filler for the final shaping



voila !!!!!!!!!


all other de-seaming is the same.

ps a pro would take more time to panel beat the shape back in and then
lead fill...

don't think brazing is permitted any more due to weld strength problems, oxy/acetylene (gas) welding is fine or even tig/tag welding, mig / mag welding is easier for a novice welder to do,

forgot to say when you cut off the seam leave a couple of mm to weld too then you wont blow through.

take your time and you'll be ok mate..
