I'm enjoying your videos man. You do a great job at simplifying the process you go through. Good job.

[@nathan100tz]

That's a cool setup for your portaband.

Thanks I have been thinking about making a weld together kit to sell.

[@Izziana]

Good job man. Looks good. And your video editing is even better.

[@amcustomfab]

Thanks 👊

Great work as always. Was nice seeing you the other day :) .

[@corbandallas8644]

Dialed man, I see your got your lighting setup and your mic! Way to invest in your channel! Stay up!! Quality work!

[@tommylud4324]

Wonder why the customer wanted to be able to screw the 90deg fitting rather then just weld on a 90deg bung or something.

[@amcustomfab]

You my friend bring up a very good point. Would definitely be more consistent.I was just doing what I was told but maybe I should have suggested that lol.

[@tommylud4324]

Maybe he just wanted the bare minimum to accomplish the goal and the longer fitting doesn’t affect his plans. Love your work.

This was really useful to watch; but I hate seeing how people who, in specific, tig weld sleeveless get skin cancer after 12-15 years for not welding with sleeves.

[@geekfromabove]

Great video! Was just curious what you recommend for settings when welding those fittings?

Is there any worry about a failure by using a butt joint and grinding the head of the weld off vs using a lap joint and leaving the weld? I have a radiator that I need to do some similar modifications do and I don't want to have 10 different patches visible where I removed all the existing fittings.

[@amcustomfab]

On my plug or replacement piece I I beveled the edge and also made it a .065 "" smaller all the way around. That Gap will help Ensure the weld fully penetrates.

[@matthewjones7689]

What grit did you use with the angle grinder when you smoothed out the welds.

[@amcustomfab]

40 grit

[@cj7girl280]

Thanks. 😃

[@motodrang4287]

That’s a beefy looking radiator.

[@daviddelacruz7496]

I have one those radiators and it’s small leak on weld on where corners meet, can I get it re welded ? And it’ll stop the leak?

[@amcustomfab]

In theory depending on the location of the crack and the skills of the person you bring it to 😎

[@daviddelacruz7496]
