That Belt Tightener Thing broke when i got into my accident, along with my flex-a-lite fan.

can i weld it, or do i need a new one?

Replace it. They aren't that expensive anyway.

Take care,
-Chris

yeah, buut when you have no money, anything is a lot, just need to know if the metal is weldable?

PKRWUD · 06-30-2002, 09:51 PM

If you're good enough, you could weld tinfoil, but I wouldn't recommend it. Same goes for this.

Take care,

Can you afford the damage that it will cause when your weld breaks? Get a used part at a junkyard.

It can be welded with a low hydrogen rod...........Easy money!

Stealing it from a junkyard will cost u less than using up a low hydrogen rod.
