I like the little bracket across the rollers, and will go for a metal liner plus new swan neck spring, shield, and tip when I can get them.

The one time it always works is when I set if flat out, when it will happily weld 1/4" till it overheats and cuts out.

I think I killed the first SIP on Dusty DUKW, but this one has done everything since then, but with increasingly erratic wire feed since it has never had a new liner. I'm working on the rear doors of the WD21 van at the minute, where the repairs are actually quite simple if I could just get the MIG to run consistently.

Long tem the people on the fora always seem to head towards a Portamig so that might be worth a look too.
