I am confident it will be very strong. Even if my welds are ugly they are solid. Once the welds and structure are given the all clear I'll run a bead of urethane over them just to tidy things up asthetically. There is definitely no pin holes but even if there is I have treated with crc rust converter and a few decent coats of crc etch primer. The urethane will be just an extra bit of insurance and make it look neater.

    Once cert guys have inspected it I will have a better idea if it's strong enough, there's plenty of scope to add more reinforcement if needed but I think it'll be OK.
    Make sure you use neutral cure urethane
