I've been making a rear bumper from 6mm for the Jeep this is atttached to the winch mount I have built at the rear where the tank was.....
Pic will follow in' projects'
The US made bumper I took off had 2 eyelets for tow shackles similar to gate eyes and were welded to the 6mm bumper around the edge....
The bumper I have made is also of 6mm and I am going to put shackle eyes or gate eyes on it....
I could just copy the welding of the original 'cos it survived 4.7 ton pulls from my hydraulic winch or....... I could plug weld/rossette weld.....
Question is if I am welding thro a 10mm hole through the 6mm bumper onto the shackle eye should I have the welder set to max to penetrate the shackle eye or have it set for the 6mm plate? I would do the plug weld after welding from the front ..... or am I being far too belt and braces.....
I am using a Portamig 235 argoshield and .8 wire and her's some stuff if I can download
One is some rockrails I built the other is rear of jeep with winch bumper and the other is the junk I took off showing old bumper with tow eyes.
