What type of steel is the fuel pump assembly on a classic?
What type of steel is the fuel pump assembly on a classic? I'm looking at welding a couple of an-6 connectors to the end of the connectors but there are two types you can order, a mild steel or stainless.
This is the item:
And this is what i want to weld it to:
I'm aware that there is a connector from Torques UK on eBay for this but i like the weld on fittings as it's a solid connection.
Thanks

It doesn't make any difference mate
Both mild steel or stainless will weld fine
It's not a stressed component So get stainless
If I'm tig welding dirty or cold rolled mild steel at work And the spec Allows me I use stainless filler wire to get a cleaner weld anyway

Im just being a bit fussy and want a cleaner looking setup.
Wonder what pressure the quick connect can handle, for example if you are running a 600 BHP car.
I think i will use this connector, keeps things simpler than going and getting bits welded on. Also my boss pointed out custom parts when they brake aren't as quick a fix.
