This is a known weak spot.
Consider bolting the flat bar down past the tube instead of welding it. This is far stronger and more flexible than the normal method.

Do away with the stay all together, mine have lasted 8,000 miles without incident
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

wings
I have had Tigers cycle wing stays on my race Avon for 3 years with no problems, had to adjust them with shims to fit some slightly bigger rubber, but
still nice and solid
