K-member at the end of its life?

Here are two pics that show the original welds that hold the pin tube in. This k-member was very crooked so I took it apart (removed the bottom half) to make it easier to straighten. Then I added some internal strength where you normally wouldn't have access. I then added half washers to the inside for strength. I have also cut square holes in one other k-member to just weld around the outside to the tube inside the k-member. This was an area that did not receive enough attention when they were originally built.
