Making Nerf bars???

Postby Quickcars » Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:34 pm

Pardon my complete ignorance on anything to do with welding, but how the heck do you fabricate nerf bars without burning your fingertips off. I cut up some pieces of pretinned copper wire to make a set of nerf bars and I just kept staring at them trying to figure out how to actually accomplish the task.

Well, after several very clumsy attempts with no success, I figured I'd better ask before I accidently branded myself! :angry-cussingblack:

Old timey mag wheel balancing weights work well to hold the pieces in place while soldering them together.

I use a small flat blade screwdriver with a notch cut in the tip. It holds those round parts nice and tight, exactly where I want them, until the solder cools down. Just don't solder the screwdriver to the chassis..
