dmyers151 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Any competent welder should be able to set you up. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm not sure I'd call them replicas. I've heard that D2, XYZ, and K-Sport are all related companies. If nothing else, the XYZ stuff you have is a competing brand with similar equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Cut the tops off and prep everything beforehand. I bet a muffler shop would do it for you, give them a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patra_is_here Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 i would recommend going to someone with a skill level better than a muffler shop tech. just sayin, i wouldn't want my struts held together by someone who typically welds thin wall tubing that carries no load. take it to a real metal worker or professional welder is my recommendation . you don't need to call an automotive shop (in fact I would suggest not calling an auto repair shop to do the work). just look up metal workers / welders in your area.
