[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 487040, member: 22139"] Looks like a good start to cover the cracks but won't lend much strength to the corner. Suggest using side gussets like crudely doodled in my pic. On the upside, its wide open and easy to access. Cleaning all the areas with a grinder with a wire wheel/cup brush will save you a bit of time on the prep work. Maybe make a template for the gussets. A shop with a CNC plasma or better yet a water jet can cut them out. Gusset doesn't need 100% weld just where it's easy to reach. 5000 series aluminum if it's available, or 3000 series. Don't use 6061. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211231/b474b9b0bcd11fc863f2ef628cd125aa.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
