[QUOTE="AlaskanTrucker379, post: 960452, member: 14294"] Got a little bit more done this weekend. Doesn't look like much, but actually took a long time. I didn't want to use a nut and bolt to mount the panel. I want'd to use a screw so it could be easily removable. I was going to try and plug weld a piece of aluminum on the back to drill and tap but the peice was too small and the hole was to large to get a good penetrating weld. I just decided it was the bottom side and wouldn't ever be seen by anyone but me so it was okay to have a weld down there. I would have tig'd it but our Tig torch was down at the moment. [ATTACH=full]132916[/ATTACH] It's nothing to be proud of, but I still like taking pictures of welds. One this short, welding 3/16's to .100 with a standard ol' wirefeed welder isn't easy to do perfectly. Not long enough to get good heat so I was in more of a globular transfer mode than short-circuit or spray. I'd say it isn't half bad. [ATTACH=full]132917[/ATTACH] Installed and screwed in. Holes were drilled into the core support and I made some little brackets that attach from the core support to the panel. Close up pictures in proceeding photos. [ATTACH=full]132918[/ATTACH] I apologize for the crappy photo on this one. Close up of the mounts that I built. [ATTACH=full]132919[/ATTACH] Here is a third mount I added. It is attached to a large hole that was already in the radiator. The bolt going into my panel is temporary until I get another screw. [ATTACH=full]132920[/ATTACH] Everything will still need to come back out and get ground and smoothed out. It will all get powder coated as well when its all finished. [/QUOTE]
