Best way to install a spoolgun on a 187 handler

[DragonsBear]

I need to know the best method for installing a spoolgun on my 187 handler. I see a lot of things advertised but don't have enough experience to decide.
I am getting ready to buy the spoolgun, tank and whatever else i need so i can well some aluminum pieces on the boat. I am looking at 1000 dollars of welding if i have it done....Also, does anyone have some good plans for a welding cart. if i have to pay 80 bucks, i'd rather do it myself and have exactly what i need. Thanks....Bear

Spool Gun 3035-20 about $ $349.99

"For use with the Handler® 140 and 187 (requires SGA 100 spool gun control)
Also for use with the IronMan 210 (direct connection)"


SGA 100- about $250.00

Best way to install a spoolgun on a Handler 187 is to sell it and buy a spoolgun-ready Handler 210.

I wouldnt invest in a spool gun for a 187. Instead sell it for a HH210 (probably cheaper this way) or buy a tig machine. That said, If I was you, I would buy a liner and keep the hose as straight as possible and just weld with the stock gun. I have never done it but seen where guys do and it seemed to work ok.
