Was to easy...
The 1980 KL250 rebuild/restore was going well...
then this... this is the first of 4 sections I have to remove... and the dam metal is only 1mm thick... Be a real bastard to get it painted... decals on to have it start to leak a few months down the track..  .

After you weld in another 1mm piece, have you considered laying another strip over that? I have an old XT350 tank I'm doing that to; it'll have an armored look when I'm done, and hopefully take twice as long to rust through again.

I put a 2mm patch on the inside with a 10mm overlap..
weld a long bolt to the patch centre to hold it in place.. I just run the mig around it... I done the welds vertical down fast weld and keeps the heat down.. all the rust pitted areas I am going to flow body solder over.. ..

You can generally get body solder in two flavors. The traditional lead based, or the "safer" high tin type that requires a bit more heat.
