All cars look well-maintained. You are lucky that you come across them and managed to get these beautiful images.

Nope, a lot more serious (and dangerous) than that, likely need a close look/zoom (at the caliper mounts).

Rewelded on lugs... yikes
Re: Let the pictures do the talking.
Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2021 11:22 pmLooks like a crack along the lug to me. Also, probably welded as pharriso points out. Then again, they don’t necessarily look straight either.
Good thing you noticed, suppose finding a used one wont be so cheap.

Correct and not very well done at that, but in this case not the most concerning issue.

That's it. I knew about the not that well welded up lugs but the crack was new to me.

Luckily as I knew about the bad repair (but not crack) I've already picked up a NOS one up from a member here for a reasonable price a year or too back. Which I was planning to fit as part of my rear end rebuild I am doing.
The original issue I believe was a failed donut and minimal/poor repair of the damage. So also some fiber glass and chassis repairs to do while I am at it.
