Not that I'm done cutting out yet, but still it's rewarding to see something going back in. This is the corner of the front frame that I wanted to restore to full strength. The corner piece have too much shape to do in one piece. At least not for any valid reason. So here is the first part:
And after the second part is welded to it:
It was welded in using OA and the bracket for the steering endstop was MIGged in place.
Just a touch with a grinder on the outside where the MIG cooked through and when painted the weld seam should not be easy to find. If you cannot see the full penetration of the weld, it was too cold and could be just "glued" in place ready to fall off when stressed.
The butt weld where the new piece meets the old steel is hammered after welding to stretch out the crimp caused by welding. That will leave it with very little stress in the steel. This was not the case as it was. When I cut out the corner the cutout piece would not fit right in. That's a sure sign this corner have been under constant stress.
