Need some welding done, who can help?
You know what they say, you can have something cheap, fast or good - pick two. Well I pick cheap and good, so I'm hoping I can find someone on here who has a welder and the knowledge to weld the sleeve to the tang on my steering rack like this for cheap:
I had it tacked once, but it broke a few weeks ago when I hit a pothole. The guy I got the picture from has had his welded for years, so it should hold if it's done right. It's virtually undriveable as it is. There's about 10-15 degrees of slop, and with a quick-ratio rack, it's quite a challenge even at city speeds.
The only difficulty I see is that it has to be done in the car. It's possible that a couple tacks would be all it needs in the car, but taking it out is a huge production as the whole dash needs to be removed to do it.
I could probably afford $50-100 and as long as you're in the SE and I don't need to get onto a freeway I can even come to you.
THANKS!
