    I had to re-weld our D2 drivers door stay back onto the pillar - original weld broke.

    Local mechanics said not to weld without a spike suppressor which I borrowed for the job.



    You leave the battery connected and connect this across the terminals. I'd say this is what the exhaust shops use.

    I've learnt the hard way to always disconnect negative first. That way, if you accidentally touch on bodywork / brackets etc with your spanner while also touching the battery terminal - nothing will happen.

    If you disconnect positive first and touch something with your spanner, you can easily create an arc. I did this once (wasn't thinking - should have known better) in my F100 - the battery exploded and I got my face and arms covered in acid. Luckily, SWMBO was standing nearby and quickly grabbed a bucket of water, and no real harm done.

    For the same reason, when installing / connecting a battery, always connect positive first, and then negative.

    For welding, I always drop off the negative lead only.
    Cheers .........
