I'd be inclined to strip & fit new seal's after the fab work's done.. You can get away with perch's if you watch the heat, but still better to strip em.. |

hmm, i would fit a blank center, to keep the housing braced as possible, then top up with liquid or just take your welding nice and slow... |

take out the center and axles etc, put the whole thing in a jig with clamps and stitch weld the whole thing so you dont warp it =) |

it'd only have to be a super basic one just to keep it straight - if you stitch weld it you're lessening that chance anyway... and dont forget to fish plate the whole thing as you go (mounts etc). Oh - and another 2 tricks from my engineer - more than 50mm of weld per edge of a given mount (ie: if its a small tab, make it larger to get more weld), and try to keep thicknesses the same - dont weld 10mm plate to your 3mm chassis. |
