cool, thanks Jon.

Heating it up first is optional, it's just always the way I've done cast, and it's always worked so it's what I do.

DO NOT take everything out and weld it up...leave it together. If everything is out then it WILL WARP and then you got problems. Tell him to use a Mig and concentrate the head on the center section when welding. Just go slow. Ya'll are making this way harder than it needs to be. Trust me I have only welded up about 50 of these this way. Change fluid after everything is cooled..

Whoops, didn't think of that.

the rear end is finished...

we've been waiting on 4 ''Y'' fittings for about 3 weeks now, but we've changed up some stuff so i dont need them anymore and so it should be done fairly soon now.

I just did my buddys, and nickel rod is the only thing that has held up over time, we tried mig, tig and arc an they still seem to start leaking again after awhile, an the nickel rod is working fine now.

I've always heard that nickle is what you need to use for rear ends, if you wan't it to work properly.
