I'm still breaking a Maestro but a problem with some panels. I can see where the panels has been spot welded, but how do I sererate the panels? Do I or can I drill the spot welds out to seperate the panels?

Cheers

Yes, you can drill out the spot welds.

So it can be done with a normal drill bit? I have been told I need a Blair spot weld cutter, looks just like a fancy drill to me!:confused:

Is it easy to seperate the panels after the weld has been broken?

A normal drill bit will work however will drill through both panels at once. The spot weld drills are flat and will cut only through the weld on the top-most panel.
