no i used Mig... the plate is mild the squares at the top corners rivetted on are 8mm ballistic steel and the ducting was made from 5mm ballistic.....

just make sure that you clean the surfaces before welding very thoroughly... i prefer a gas mig over none gas any day of the week, it should not crack if welded propperly
