Mine had a hole where one of the spot welds was above the master cylinder hole in the bulkhead. Is your battery tray area all solid?

Got the rack off today, lots of surface rust but no holes or cracks








other than grind the rust off and treat it, what should i do to reinforce it? would stitch welding the seams support it much?

also my rack is very nothcy, is this normal, and the damper has resistance but it doesnt feel like that much



sorry to keep annoying people with this, just want to get it sorted, appreciate any help
