Trying to decide MIG vs gas to make this clevis. Weld has to be strong.
The nut is 3/8 -24. Tube is 3/4" DOM, 3/16" wall, 1" long.
The tube is drilled out on the end to make a press fit lip for the nut. To hold it straight and also improve the weld. The lip is 1/16 wide and 3/32 deep.
For gas I am thinking #2 tip and maybe 3-4 lbs pressure.
For MIG I would use settings just under 1/8" and .030 wire.
I don't want to screw it up. I did make a third part to practice on first though.
Wonder what others would do here.
Thanks.
