Does the roloc holder literally just screw into the cut off tool head, any link you got would be ideal.

They are with a 75mm disc. 50mm have a lot more torque. Plus remember you are not trying to cut through a panel

Belt sander with a narrow contact wheel is perfect for that, let's you hit 95% weld but also feathers into the panel when you get to the end.
Can't seem to get a sensible photo but hopefully this shows it, the wheel is narrow and radiused and the belt is wider than the wheel when fitted.

I've normally got loads of them for the bosch 12v mini grinder. Not sure if the parkside version is the same? It's a M5 bolt in the bosch so you just screw the adaptor straight in.
I've been waiting for some more since the start of Feb though, not sure what sizes I've got at the moment
Apparently the lidl is a copy of the bosch.
I believe it might be a rough copy of the design but not much more, the bosch is brushless for a start and can take more amps than the battery can deliver.
With the bosch one you need a battery that is in really good condition. I've seen loads of them that people think are faulty because the battery works fine in other tools.
Bosch are supposed to be sorting out a high-demand 12v battery but no news on that yet...

Another vote for the m12 great piece of kit, im using it nore than Thame air die dmgrinder at the minute which is daft as I don't pay for the air with it being at work but just so handy with no hoses etc.
Need to get a better selection of pads though as I only use the 36grit roloc

Any recommendations on what bit and cutting discs for the m12 die grinder?

I use only sanding discs in the M12
I got a large kit like this one to start with https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403727978064
I also get the 60 grit roloc flap discs from ebay. The wire wheels dont last long. I find Sealey branded small ones do last decently and cut rust well but I can only get them occasionally in a local autoparts shop.
Ive tended to use tig to avoid the OP's pproblems.
However, your process interests me.
Do you use it structural stuff like sill etc.
Is it as strong?
I fancy buying a couple of rolls to try out.... any recommendations on what to buy?

That's interesting. I'm a fairly recent convert to flap discs, say within the last few years. I never seem to be that accurate with them.
Using a hard disc would you look to hold it flat against the weld where you've butt jointed the two panels?

Use grinding discs and stick with welding.
A sanding disc and I am going to guess a flap disc, arent rigid and they distort around what you trying to grind down.
What has galvanised got to do with mig brazing?
I bought a roll of sif968 to use as filler metal when tig brazing.
I have no idea how good mig brazing is, I like to see a nice fillet of brass.

Nothing except that MIG braze welding doesn't vaporize as much zinc in the vicinity of the joint so more protection remains and you are more likely to stay alive to admire your work.

Flap discs are really better on contours, and a grinding disc will dig in IME.
I've found a fibre disc with a quality backing pad will blend the weld in flat a lot more easily, they will put in a lot of heat though, so as with anything panel related, take your time and keep it cool.
I'd also say, while a perfectly flush finish is always desirable, filler exists for a reason - and even the best quality bodywork is going to require some filling at some point.
