Sanded back the edges so i would have a nice clean weld area
I didn't have any metal to make them out of so i used a section of left over metal from the bits i have cut out.
I cut the section into two pieces and shaped it roughly to how i wanted it before tacking it onto the arms
Becasue it was so thin it was hard as i did it with the mig rather then the Tig welder as i had everything set up to go and all the bits i needed.
I could have left it there but i wanted it to be a smooth as possiable so i decieded to gound it back a bit as well.
Pretty good penetration of the weld which i was happy about considering the thickness difference i had to andle the gun away from the thinner piece of metal and do inch long sections switching back and forth between sides.
