First sunny day in what seems like months, so took the car out for a quick blat.

CLANK CLANK CLANK...

slow down, helmet off

CLANK CLANK

pull over

my bird poo "midnight before sva test" weld on one side of the wheel arch mount had come away.

Oh well.

Angry grinder is about to see some action.

For a DIY wingstay it has lasted pretty well.
