hi Gary;
I am not set up with the right gas to do stainless. I had a TIG welder lined up but the guy sold it before I could get to see it.
My neighbour has a cousin who is in the stainless and exhaust business; however I think he is down around Smiths Falls or something so that is prob "out".
If you are stuck I can find out but there MUST be someone in that area who can do it? Or at least in Ottawa.
LMK if you need help finding someone. Good that you are working on it, tho' - sounds pretty familiar how it is going......
