Howdy guys! I'm back with yet another question about the 3053A transmission. Up until this point I've had it bolted up to my Detroit (which is bolted to the frame with mounts) and for extra support, whilst I designed the mounts, the tail end was cradled on a ratchet strap slung between the frame rails. Did that make sense??
Anyway. I have the mounts designed and fabbed up- I just need to weld them to the case. What is the case made of exactly? I'm going to be stick welding these so I guess the more accurate question would be... which rod would you recommend I use? I've got an abundance of 7018 in several different diameters as that's what I typically use on my projects. I've also got a can of 6011 and some 6013 floating around somewhere. Having never welded to a trans case before I'd like to ask before I screw something up!
Thanks guys!
