Can anyon recomend a good welder in Wiltshire (around Salisbury or Warminster) who isn't going to cost the earth! I've just had a quote from an established Classic Car restorer and couldn't believe my eyes at the labour costs!
Have you tried Roy near Shaftsbury? His standards are excellent. He advertises in Minor Matters (sorry don't have a copy with me at the mo).
With welding the quality varies hugely and I would think in most cases you get what you pay for.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.
