Need welding help

[blakbearddelite]

I bought a swing for the porch off Amazon last year. They sent me the wrong part twice and then offered me to return it, but the packaging was already damaged beyond repair when I got it.

I need to have a welded piece relocated. One of parts for the bench does not line up correctly. Would someone be able to help me move the welded pieces to the right spot? I would obviously be willing to compensate for time spent.

The piece in question is one of the 'eye-holes' on the bottom. They welded it on the wrong side. There is a piece that is supposed to go all the way across, but the holes don't line up because of the welds.

If my welder wasn't being a POS I'd help out, but it is. I think someone in here can and will chime up. What a headache it sounds like.

That's a huge bitch, assuming it turned out to be a free swing after all that drama ?

You can't just flip it around?

You can't just flip it around?

There are other welds that can't be slipped, it's tough to tell from the picture. But the 'seat' part side brackets are not 'flippable'. If you flipped it, you'd have to re-weld twice as much.

make them send you a new part. welding a new one on will ruin that powder coat

What type of metal is that?

 

[blakbearddelite]

Not even sure how to tell.

I have been having good luck with jb weld recently. If you have a dremel or cutting wheel, lop it off and jb weld that sucker wherever you need it.
