I try to avoid welding at all costs unless you want to pay someone who knows what they are doing.
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Best welder I ever used was off the back of a tractor, good old PTO driven welder 3 phase, welds up I beams beautiful.Many industrial welders are 2 phase or 480V. My welder (BOC Smootharc advanceII 250a inverter mig/mma) can be used at 240, 415 or 480V. The amperage is limited to 180a when used with a single phase 240v 15a outlet. The full 250a is available when using 415 or 480V power sources.
Mine is connected to 2 phase 480V as I don't have access to 3 phase in my area. 2 phase is commonly referred to as 'farm power' around here.
Maybe so but easiest way to go(imo because I have a welder and know how to use it) and IRS Commodores don't get overtightened by blokes with big armsMe personnally...Drill out...Use a HT nut and bolt, with a washer inbetween the nut and shocker bush.....Honestly, welding is way over the top for this application.....IRS equipped commodores only have a bolt, with washer that holds the shock in place at the base....
I guess I'm lucky as I've got 3 Phase in the house and also out in the shed. Gives me plenty of options I must say.
Is that because you live in a wreakers yard? Vin said your Mr backyard wreaker.I guess I'm lucky as I've got 3 Phase in the house and also out in the shed. Gives me plenty of options I must say.

Actually if the op wants to drive up here (probably $100 fuel) I will fix it for him.Not much of an option I know but an option just the same.
I've had people drive here from the Goldie to buy roof racks off me
