Only use the stainless on the part coming out of the receiver for strength,build the rest with steel. That's how I do it!

Thanks for the U2U heads up! It's perfect for the BF down tube for my Libre. Well, if you are coming for the DBBB this year then it'll work out
perfectly :P.
Edit: Actually, I just measured my down tube and it's 1.5"...so these probably won't fit.

Seems like an easy fix to that would be redo the clamp plates where they clamp up to the downtube? You'd have a beefier connection & a bit more
weight in the centre/front end of your buggy however that may not be a bad thing  esp if it improves tracking + your top end speeds you'll no doubt be all :D good with that.

Why is that? there is no noticeable difference
between 316L and 304. Are there any markings on it ,or a spray painted color on one end?

I use a 110 mig and welding 1/4" is doable but it's pushing the limit of the machine's capability. If you can weld both sides it's ok, but I'm not
sure of its structural integrity. I personally wouldn't recommend it.
Not to mention you'll have to buy stainless wire for your machine, and I'm not sure if they make stainless in flux-core if that's what your machine
takes.
Weldngod would be the better man for that question, but that is MHO.
Thoughts WG?

Heat it with a torch first,then the arc does not have to heat the metal before you get good penetration. Are you talking stick or mig? And yes ,you
have to get stainless electrode,be it wire or stick.

I thought you might say that
Provided you have an oxy-acetylene torch right? Or is there another means of heating it up?

dont forget the oven, done a bit of preheating when the wife was out. Use welding gloves and run fast, or weld in the kitchen. Did that once, just
before the new floor was put in.:o
