This is where you cut right down the "C" to cut it off and to cut through the weld. Once the "C" is off I then cut the tube once again to the with I am looking for and repeat this again on the other side.

This shows you that you need to cut through the whole length of the weld or getting the piece out of the "C" will be a real b!tch.

This one shows you that you need to learn how to use a torch:flipoff2: In order to get the pieces out cutting a relief in them with a torch works sweet but you better not get into the "C" to much but a small amount won't trach them. I tend to get them real close and then finish the cut with a few swipes of a hacksaw.
