    These are especially good if you can't get access to the rear of the panel to do up panel clamps...

    This is the place I got mine from,

    As absinth says the magnets would be great if you cant get behind the panel. One of my big problems with the clamps is the square rod at the back falling out when you are attaching or moving them.

    Just make sure you keep the panels clean of metal filings and grinding dust, the magnets are bugger to clean. I always brush down my work area and give cavity areas a quick vacuum before final fit of the patch and welding.

    Do you remember, is that price per clamp?

    As he said best to get all the rust spots now then have them come through in 12 months time.

    I think it was per clamp but they may do it cheaper in bulk.

    I think i might go with the magnets, tig welder and fuse weld on this to reduce the heat, but yea will be a big job.
