On the topic of MIG this is a very full site - with its own forum.

http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/

From a quick scan the shortlist might include the Clarke 160TM and Butters 170c.

...and the advice seems to be to contact this guy...

make sure you buy 1 with a (euro connecter) on the weling gun, makes replacement alot easier in the future as they are available from most good welding supliers or motor factors  Wink

i also cracked on with the front inner wings and getting them into etch prima, i use aerosol etch as its nice and thin and it shows up any cracks which aprilias suffer with........ guess what.......i found some!!! couldn't be seen clearly with the naked eye  but the etch soon showed them up, if i'd used a heavy prima it would simply have filled over the cracks which obviously isn't the best  Roll Eyes i also made some bumper mountings and fitted them as they were missing on the n/s

brushable seam sealer was applied over any previous repairs on top of the etch prima, next step will be to get the engine bay to the same stage then apply some colour  Grin theres a bit of welding to do in the back of the glovebox / bulkhead area first, looks like the screen has leaked into the glovebox over the yrs and its made its own drainage system ( about a 7 inch slot!!) at the bottom  of the glovebox

hi brian , there are 5 levers in total  Shocked ithink they are for

fresh air vent
starter
fuel tap
choke
hand throttle

if you look carefully you will see a silver lever between the two black ones, pretty sure thats the fuel tap and the other 2 are hand throttle and choke, middle of dash lever is air vent and next along to the right is the starter lever, its a bit like a signal box behind there lol

Great to see it progressing. 

I loved all those levers as well.

What specific etch and seam sealer do you use?

Another thing about those levers - levers just like that with black spherical blobs on are familiar to me from the Aprilia. For the Aprilia they hang below the dash – one for the starter and the other for the hand-throttle. And then 30 years later a similar lever and knob is used on the Fulvia for the choke control.

It pleased me to find such continuity of detail.

Keep up the good work Chugga!
