Default Who can Weld? (headers)
ok, im looking for someone that can weld up the egr and air ports on my headers... i removed all that stuff and have block off plates on them now but on the EGR one while taking it off one of the bolt heads stripped off so i dont have a very good seal there. i want to cut off the ports and have them welded shut. let me know if anyone can help out here. im in lewisville. thanks
-Kris

Why not call Ray at Fortress. I am sure that he will do it for you and for a good price too.

Run it down to mill street and go to Miller muffler or the boat impellor place. the boat shop has welded a couple things for me in the past. They are past RPM's old shop on the right before Valley Ridge. There is a welding shop right next to Miller Muffler too.

I still have the roller too. Apparently everyone that said they needed one doesn't, lol.

Just take them to any muffler shop unless you want them to be pretty. Had mine cut off and welded shut for like 15 bucks, took em 10 minutes for both.

Take it to HPP in Lewisville and ask for Chris Marsh. He will take care of you.

I had Ray at Fortress do my old hookers before he sent them off to jethot. he did a whole square patch and it looked very nice after the coating.
