Why is it so much of an angle out ?? I would have thought you'd want them closer together ?

its so when i chop the 3 pipes down tomorrow and fit bends to make them all parralell again i.e. 3 pipes side by side theres still enough room to get the tip of the mig in there and weld them and not have the merge a foot long :D

Ahh yeah fair enough, I normally tack the merge together then make those bits you speak of then can easily break the tacks to get them all welded up for that very reason
