Precisely that.If welding repair is deemed acceptable, I assume drill stopping the crack would be best practice?
Drill stopping, being to drill a small through hole, say 1/8", at the end of the crack, to stop it from continuing, and then weld everything back up, including the drill stop hole.
Then whatever ābest methodā for boxing in/reinforcing.
But part of the problems I see are the crack starting at the edge of the mount-weld joint.
no drilling there. Bevel, re-weld with a backer plate would be my angle of attack.
