X2 theres enough crap to deal with when welding the uni-body without throwing brain damage or death into the picture.
your thinking of brake parts cleaner, not brake fluid, big difference

I brushed on a bunch of brake fluid to remove the under coating. Scrapes of with a putty knife real easy
my 3/16 plates
I marked were to grind
when I pulled my leaf spring the damn welds broke on the nutsert deal
I had to cut a another hole in the floor and install a new nut, PITA
I welded in a nut attached to some flat bar (see far left) those other plates are for plating the leaf pockets
The rears complete, still need to finish the rest
Why doesn't anyone make a brace or big skid plate that ties the framerails together along almost the whole length between the tires? It doesn't have to be one piece, it could be 2 that bolt together. Hell, you could connect to the pinch seams too and have a nice flat underside with some 3Dness for more rigidity.
Similar to this, but filled in for protection. BTW note that this Miata has a more protected cat than almost all of us
Xj9140, read the post he quoted - I said both work and noted to avoid brake kleen on things being welded
Good idea!Suggestion - link this thread (and the other TOTM threads) into the FAQ thread.
