I'm stripping a used front subframe down to bare metal ready for some fresh paint. Strikes me this would be a good time to weld it with some strengthening plates, assuming this would help.
- Did the Racing Puma use the standard Fiesta subframe used on everything from Ka to Courier van?
- Any rally tips and tricks to modding the standard subframe, eg seam weld around the top and bottom halves?
I can see the standard subframe is spot welded top and bottom, I was thinking a seam weld around the outside might help. Also some strengthening plates/webs around the steering rack mounts. If anyone has had a go at this, I'd appreciate some input.
(NB I've already fitted strut braces front and rear and will be using the lower suspension brace too)
