Bend, Cut or Weld ? was created by ooky_123
one major flaw of the recent body lift is the gear selector will not go into 4-low.
I was wondering how others have overcome this issue ...

I hunted around for a workshop that still had gas rather than MIG and they applied a lot of heat to bend it easily

Thats good to know Martin. I'll have a look around the local area for a fabricator / garage that has an oxy torch

You can do it with a tig welder too, that's how I did mine, just flatten
The tungsten and about 60amps heats it up nicely!!!

Hmm not having access to any welder, Gas, Arc or MiG/TiG this is an issue for me.

I need to take a trip to my local garage to see if they can help me, or failing that, I may be off on a road trip to KAP with a bag of cash to ask them for help.

Don't bother going all the way North (unless its for the BigJimny meet at Tong!!)

If you are prepared to travel a bit then I can point you at the local mechanic near me who heated mine up for beer tokens
