If you mean 1.4mm, yes, that should do fine.
If you really meant 14mm, get the yellow pages, look up "shipyards" and ask them, lol

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

you'll need something special to weld through 14mm plate, but othewrwise any MiG will weld angle iron -to- the plate. turn it up full, go slow and you'll be fine.

130 amp wont do it with full penetration, as it just wont put enough heat in, a 200amp jobby will though if you chamfer the edges about 45 degrees and do a root and cap weld, with a slow pass speed, possibly two caps if you cant stretch one far enough..
a big arc welder will be easier to dind on the cheap...

The Internet, like all tools, if used improperly, can make a complete bo**cks of even the simplest jobs...

I agree with Spiny. Since you need to weld something to some 14 mm plate, as opposed to joining two bits of 14mm plate, you should be fine. Just turn the welder right up and go slow because it will act like a massive heat sink.

If its 14mm plate, why not drill & tap i and bolt it together?  |

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

Lets clear up car terms:
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Arc welding is your friend here, but you'll still need about 170-200 amps to do it properly. Forget the hobby mig mate !
