Cab Steps

Post by nobbyfox »

Morning all,
A bit of advice needed please. My cab steps are looking a bit rusty now and need replacing.
I could get my friendly T25 expert to sort this but think it would be more rewarding and beneficial to me to have a go myself.
However, I do not have a welder. So.....if i have to buy one is it MIG or TIG. I would just purchase a small hobby one from Clarke.
Good idea??

Thanks

rewarding?? well maybe, they are a difficult thing to get right and i have yet to see an aftermarket step fitted so it looks original, whoever has done it, after cost of welder,+ tools plus learning = maybe start on something easier

Thanks MM for the reply.
Maybe I will leave it to the professionals. It is rusty but maybe if i get the wire brush out and Rustoleum I can make it look 'pretty'
