Butchering the MIG torch - ready for action!

Firstly, I need to install the 3.5mm phono socket switch thingy. There aren't many places it will fit but this is just about manageable once I've chopped the switch body with the cutters.


Next, put the cover back on the MG welder.


And here we are. I'm just waiting for some 3.5mm mono plugs to arrive later in the day. Then I can connect the 12V supply up to the Motorhead unit and - who knows - possibly even have a go at using it.

The socket looks innocuous enough. I assume it will still function after being doctored / butchered to fit in the torch body. Time will tell......
