Thanks for looking out and the ideas! In the upcoming months I’ll be keeping an inspection routine. I like the fillet weld idea! I unfortunately don’t have a welder though. If I did I would have added at least gussets for more peace of mind.
With saying that, I am still confident enough in the material as is to drive daily and ride with my loved ones in the car and feel safe. I’m also confident in my inspection ability, which should catch any possible stress fractures before it propagates enough to become a safety hazard. In the future I would like to add more strength to the bracket.
