If you're asking that question, I question your ability to install these correctly, without warping the boxes and/or the car. Be careful with the heat. Good luck.
Well smart ass, I asked because at the time I didn't have a tig welder. I was asking for the reason of having enough room to be able to get in there with a mig gun to weld them up fully. FYI they are installed with a full weld and full penetration.
@ryancomer6416 I wasn't being a smart ass. I've not considered ever having a problem with access since it gets welded without the top on. And yes, they do get fully welded with full penetration, but if you buzz that in without letting it cool in between passes, you'll turn the car into a banana. I just installed a set in my '84 fox with through-floor subframe connectors and a 4-point cage and I'm telling you, for your benefit, to be careful with how much heat, and where, you put into the car.
@@MyMomsADadNow when I welded them up I didn't focus on a spot for to long just because I didn't want it to warp them. I welded an inch then moved them repeated to process until they were fully welded. The welder I have now is a multi process welder. I tig welded the plates to the outside of the boxes for the bolts to go through. It turned out good. My tig welding isn't bad. I'm by no means a pro. I hate welding stainless. I have a few friends that are pipe fitters. They said it looks good. I'm my own worst critic. It's strong and does the job
Can they be mig welded together or do they have to be tig welded?
you can use a mig or tig welder.
