Welding? instead of bolting

[demo]

grade 8 three point foldie bolts. and weld the back side of the foldie just a bit.

if it is only welded in the back and were the picture says it is easy to cut off. if ur dad works in a body shop bolt it first, then welded it in. cause the bolts will lock it in place to start. then the welds will secure it. so the foldie will not have any movement. at all. and will not squeak. but this will put un nessare stress on the middle and drop out of the deck causeing a bent center and a cracked deck. but the foldie is solid. so if you do this i strongly recomend you get full deck bar reinforcement

^ pointless

no. just wayyy over kill. i dont do this cause i change decks to much.

and make shure to take off that thing at the front of the foldy thats help on by two little bolts , just get the right size allen key and take that sheeet off and then tighten your bolts, itl be super solid then

o yea then weld ot i guess

be carefull bolting it too iv snapped my foldy bolting it. if u dont tighten them equally then the tension is not equal and it will crack it its shitty

welding works fine as long as you dont OD on the welds. victoria, i think you'd be fine with a welded foldy, b ut make sure you bolt it at the angle you want it to be at before you weld it.

nah id just leave it it will end up weaker than before.

 

[Jonathon. S]

bolting is much simpler, plus you would have to buff and finnish the alluminium before and after you weld it

 

[ryankeong]

no you wouldnt?

 

[Daniel Gutendorff]

bolting it is easier and better in every way.

 

[JoshToy]

Better off bolting it. With welding, after a period of time the weld are guaranteed to snap.
