Seam Welding A 205 Subframe?

[fatony1 17]

Is this something worth doing while my subframe is off the car?

 

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely, stitch welding it is more than enough, you dont want to too stiff by seal welding the whole of it.

More to the point you don't want to warp the whole thing to buggery.

Thats right, try welding it bit by bit and let it cool down a bit before welding another section, so there wont be too much heat put into it.

At some point in the past ive seen a picture on here with the areas to stitch weld up paintshopped onto it, not a clue where though! sorry

A bit OTT IMO for anything other than an off-road/rallycross car etc.

 

But yes, stitch weld it if anything, inch on, 2 off...

can't find it

 

bet its bent...

[fatony1 17]

Is this about right?

 

[Baz 421]

Yup. that looks like it's been done well.

[SurGie 54]

A good job yes, however i would have not welded as many stitches, say 4 instead of the 7 thats on the long part of it.
