May I ask you, where did you purchase your primeweld mig? Is it Great Western Saw?

I bought both my Primeweld machines (TIG225 and MIG180) direct from Primeweld.

I see you in Victoria, you had no issue with delivery? I see primeweld website charges you tax, did you have to pay more upon delivery?
Thank you for quick reply.
I paid FedEx fees and GST.

Thank you. I figure that.
The water separator arrived this evening. Found an adapter for the 1/2" tube fitting in my stock. Think I'll look for brass versions. Then it's a matter of figuring how to mount it all.
Making the mounting plate for the separator took the most time of the whole project
It looks like plastic screws through the radiator fins?Making the mounting plate for the separator took the most time of the whole project
Yup they are from Derale.
Derale????
The same folks who make the cooler.
Ah. Did you order them at the same time or was it an afterthought?
It was an afterthought.
I could have rigged something up but I liked how clean the installation was.

This shows the kit mounting a fan. Did you put the pads between the frame and the radiator. I guess I really do have to come out for an inspection/tutorial.
There were little foam pads that I put against the cooling fins.
It’s kind of an odd process but you put the long plastic things through the fins of the cooler, slide the foam pad things on and then put the whole shebang on whatever you’re mounting it on and push the retaining caps on. They have a ratchet kind of latch that holds very tight. Snug them up and clip the long ends of the plastic things of. Presto. Done.
Kind of what I figured. Thanks.
David,
Don’t be teasing us with a lot of WIP reports.
We want to see the finished product, then we will start tearing it apart.
LOL
Wait till you see the drawer slide installation video. Riveting stuff!
