I think i made a bit of a classic mistake last night!

I went to do some welding on my SJ chassis and without thinking attatched the earth to the gearbox. Went to weld and the arc was really weak and not penetrating. Then i look to my left as there is a funny smell to see the braided rear brake line has heated up, melted through and caught fire! must have been the only conductive bridge between the chassis and the transmission

O.dear.........

every1 makes mistakes!

yep
I had a similar prob have set about my Sami with welder for the past week, had welder earth through the rear hub found hand brake cable a bit warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scott mate just ask chuckieegg on ss about welding cock ups i set the whole wing and air box on fire on his vit once !!!! havent burnt his disc yet tho, we all make mistakes its part of the learning curve dude!.
