good job, but I think you will find that the axles will bend next. That's sort of how it goes with these first generation spindles.The tabs are weaker than the axles but the axles are the next weakest link. Box in or double plate the spindle behind the axle then replace the axle with a 3/4 shaft. you will have to swap out the wheel bearings for the 3/4 size. I cut the old axles off, then used 3/4 grade 8 bolts drilled through the back side , then welded in place. This cured all my spindle problems!
