Re: Massive Hit
A flush weld with the proper relief bevel and penetration would have been fine (it was 1/8" wall 1x2 6061 tubing). Had the welds not been ground flush it also would have been fine (as was the case for the NASA repair welds on one side only that lasted another regional and the championships). We told our sponsor NOT to grind these welds but after they were smooth and sexy the welder assured us that there was plenty of penetration. Lesson learned... we should have sent it back.
