Roll bar welds

Do roll bars have to be welded by a certified welder?? The NHRA Rulebook states "mild steel welding must be done by approved MIG wire feed or approved TIG heliarch process". What exactly does this mean?? I am looking to weld my Wolfe 6 pnt. MS bar in today and would like to know. a friend of mine was going to weld it, but he isn't certified, and niether am I. Thanks

Re: Roll bar welds

Looks like as long as you do it with either of those types of welders it's fine. I would MIG it myself. How is your friend going to do it?

Re: Roll bar welds

yes, that's fine.

what they are talking about is that the bar must be welded with either MIG or TIG welding for mild-steel, but only TIG is approved for Chromoly steel.

They don't want u using a stick welder or something other than mig/tig to weld the bar.
