I had a friend who knows how to weld much better than me come by and weld up the HWH slide pin actuator/ram/solenoid thingy…
It came out good compared to how it used to look and the only problem is that we welded it in the wrong place! It is about 1” away from where it needs to be (completely my fault for not checking the outer pin hole before welding it up… :-( So while I’m waiting to get the nerve up to weld on the coach again I’m going to rebuild the hydraulic pins using the write-up from Latitude and getting the o-rings ordered… some day this slide room is going to be completed! Any advice on what to do the next time we are welding this up will be appreciated (please do not be too critical of his welds - I told him no one would ever see them with the valance on! Lol)
