Reply to "GT5 flare installation durability question?"

My flairs were put on int he 1980's. They were overlapped (spot welded) then the seem covered with filler. There was absolutly no signs of corrosion and absolutly no corrosion problems after 20+ years. I am sure the metal was clean when done. I believe overlapping is the strongest because you have more metal but in doing so I think filling in the overlap is a bad idea. If you want a clean seam, but welding is the way to go. I cut my ovelap and aligned it:
