A bit of advise please.
I have just got my front wishbones back from the blasters All are good with the exception of the one shown below which now has a small hole. It's only on one side of the brace and all appears sound around. Is this something that could be or more importantly safe to fill up with weld?
Ta in advance Tim

You wouldn't really fill that with weld but you could let in a piece of steel ok though, just make sure you chop out all the thinning metal.

Ta Alex.
That certainly gives me another option should the brace prove to be worse than it looks and still save the old wishbone.

My wishbone was perfect except that hollow rectangle bit.

Looks the the ends aren't welded very well filling the middle up with water.

I wouldn't mess around...

1mm cutting disc and weld a new bar across.

That's a ten minute max repair with a drink in the middle.
