End craters are one of those things that can have no effect or can crack under any amount of pressure. They are also one of the easiest things to fix on the job. Putting it into the field and saying it’s fine cos it survived doesn’t mean the next one will.If its been to space and back again, who is anyone to say its not suitable for the job intended?

I wouldnt be bothered about the rest of it looking a tad un tidy but any alu tig welder worth there salt wouldn’t leave a crater on the end of a run let alone 3 that I can see.

Lots of things cause cracks brad. End craters are one of them. I’ve Seen them survive I’ve seen them fail. It’s a genuine weld defect. There is no reason to leave themI’ve seen loads of motorbikes, radiators all sorts with end craters and while they look untidy I think a weld is more likely to crack from other factors than a crater in many cases.
If they took one of the washers out they would be fine, it has to be a mock up or something re assembled from parts by the staff at a museum.Hi, Some of those bolts aren't long enough for the locking nuts. It's not rocket science.
