[QUOTE="Markrobinson, post: 746773, member: 1478"] I saw somewhere on Facebook recently where a guy had some similar to those ORA ones and his long gusset weld kept cracking. Apparently the JHF style doesn’t have a tendency to crack because there’s isn’t a long weld heating a thick and thin area of the knuckle and cooling at different rates. I built some similar but not nearly as substantial as the ORA style and mine are hair line cracked. With mine, I bored the knuckle hole out to 1” and ran a 1” piece of DOM through it and gusseted that In single sheer. It’s held up, but I need to grind the weld out and see if it cracks again.
