Axle Brackets
Do you think it is OK to weld the brackets on a Capri axle without stripping it first? I need to get the set up right to measure for new trailing arms
and need to get the car on its wheels soon so I can move it!

Support it properly or it will bend and work out the best order to do the welds in to avoid local over heating.

I just drained the oil out of mine then put fresh in after, it's not been a problem. You can't really do a sequence of welds as you want a
complete run on each side of the bracket. I just tacked each end with it in place then took it off and finished it in an easier position
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
