Fair point. Prob be cheaper for a tank of petrol and pop to Bath where an experienced sj welder can do it for you instead

yeah that looks like a good little mig, cant really go wrong with clarke! 4mm is pretty much the limit for a 130amp so it will be fine for making bumpers etc.

this one would be better but they only take the small bottols of gas,would be fine for bumpers without recovery points!!
