Gixer1460 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Totally agree with your diagnosis - Its a bit of weight hanging on a relatively weakly attached tube, add in vibration and bumps and classic weld cracking. Either plate over the junction or add a flange brace between the two pipes - i'd add multiple TIG passes to build up joint section. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the advice, I'll dig some stainless out and see if I can make something to spread the load better. Definitely build the joint up as well, should be easy to get a good fillet in there.

Danm54 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Welded up now and I put a little brace in there too. I'll keep an eye on this but hopefully that should sort it out now. 2 Quote Link to comment
