I think so. They are stamped steel and there are stress points visible, even in a new one. I have thought that with a small oxy/acetylene welding tip, the stress points could be fused and eliminated, before installation.

I see what you mean Jerry. Those bends look stressed for sure. I will definitely consider reinforcement at clutch time on my new or used fork before install. Thanks.
