Recommend you check your upper wishbones (and lower) ever so often

Found a weld fatigue crack on one of my upper wishbones today. From the surface, it looked like a crack in the paint until I took the paint off to find it cracked. The issue was on the weld between the rear tube and the flat that the ball joint connects into.

I have fixed this, but ideally would want new wishbones, but I guess that'll be quite difficult at the moment give the current status of Marlin Cars.

This is a good reason not to chrome wishbones...

I'm looking into maybe adding a gusset between both tubes and the flat metal piece, which would add a good amount of strength
