ive never welded titanium in my life.... and i would imagine a trial and error would be costly.... stainless i can do but lord jesus it would take me ages because i dont have a pulse tig..... i only have a invertec tig welder so for me to weld SS with out warping the hell out of it i would need to do a series of welds and then cool off and then series of welds and cool off.... youll see where you stop and start... aluminum is our best friend here.... when we move to our new shop i will get a pulse tig but thats in a year or two

im pulling out my oem tank this sunday to mount my original tank that i made for my z..... my dad and me will start mocking up the oem tank and re design it a bit and start making the jig and templates for it... pretty much after we get the hard part down its just replicate from then on....

simota1 · 03-21-2013, 07:08 AM

i got one for you DE lol.... just so people arent like... hmmmmm i wonder if simotas car is as nice as his welds....

you guys are all familiar with how picky i am with my car... its the same story with my work ethic... here are some of my lines... this was a rx-7 3rd gen shifter housing... he did a supra engine swap and i fabbed and modified the oem shifter housing to accommodate the new place its suppose to be at....

aluminum is one of my most favorite metals to weld.....

im not the best in aluminum but i dont think you guys will be dissapointed

now the only part i have to figure out is how to polish the welds and the tank....

simota1 · 03-21-2013, 07:15 AM

and my SS lines...

ill ask my dad if he could make a jig for the SS.... since no one even makes tanks outa SS maybe itll attract more customers.... who knows....

if i had a pulse tig.... my welds would be like a machine... god i love those machines so much

wish i had one...

You don't need a pulse tig to weld sheet stainless. I used to weld 18 ga all the time using a Miller 350XL.

And yes, I'm interested in this too.

Dead for now. I'm going to contact the guy who was making a nicer replacement

Serious...I want.

If he will do one-offs I'll make it worth his time.
