Appreciate that in your country there is a lot of sun. In Poland it has not been visible for many days, even weeks. it is very, very difficult to get motivated to work.
Nice work on repairs. Sierra always rusty underneath. A question with using the stainless steel. Are you not concerned for galvanic reaction between the origional exhisting steel, the welding and new stainless steel. In my knowledge and experience, contact with dissimalar metals can cause this galavanic reaction speeding up the corrision effect of the lesser steel. Conduct a test with a treated mild steel bolt and a stainless steel nut in the open environment for a week. Add a catalyst. (Water ie rain and moisture) Ive seen how quickly the treat bolt corrodes. Worried your good honest metal work and repairs on the sierra may come back to haunt you Enjoy and appreciate watching your work and video posts. Helps me to decide what i want to do with my project. Cheers
I did some thinking about that and settled that the galvanic potentials between the two weren't big enought to really make a significiant impact. However, I've never tested it in real life - controlled enviroment, so your proposal is a great one! I might make a study and a video on that, it's a very good idea! Also, I'm glad you find these videos useful. Cheers!
this one will be good for the next 20 years!
It better be! 😅
7:14 Here in Poland we call it a bush. You know, like branches. The remaining pieces of welding wire are usually the beginning of corrosion.
Hehe, it really is like a little ugly bush! 😁
All eliminated now.

I can relate, it really is harder to get into it when the weather is dark.

Sierra DMC12 conversion hehehehehe
Almost 😄
Brotha use some welding gloves lol
The only ones I had, were too short and some splatter got into my sleeves a couple times hehe
But you're right, I'm buying some proper new ones.🙂
