Done properly mig is ok, but Tig is always better.

Watto, There's a guy in O'conner called Peter Coleman, I bought my Gixer thou off him and he does ally stuff.
He was keen to do work for us fighter guys.
I'll PM his number to you and you can give him a call or even drop round and see him.
The work shop looks tatty from the outside but there are some hidden pleasures within.

TIG it, much neater than a MIG weld and better penetration when doing positional welding.

For things like that TIG. Mig or Oxy in the hands of someone that is good at it also works but generally, TIG .
