I am going to modify a luggage rack for my dual purpose motorcycle by moving the turn signal brackets inward. The rack appears to have been made with tubing that is about 16-18 gauge. The pieces I will be installing to hold the turn signals will be either 16 ga or 1/8" steel. I need a little bit of stiffness so the bracket won't bend in a fall on the trail (I have been known to do that occasionally). What would be the best technique for welding two pieces of different thicknesses together? Thanks , Tim. Also to Rocky D., I took your advice and switched to .035 wire and it really made a difference. Here's a fillet weld on 1/8" scrap
