Hi Stan,
I looked at the pictures and couldn't find any cracked welds, plenty of cracks in
the heavy zinc coating caused by the damaged brace deformation.

Don't see how we can rag on Rohn for that?

I think we are barking up the wrong tree about quality here.

Nice shot in there of one of those damned zinc spikes....
