oh i agree, id run it as well, its certainly strong enough now, the welds look good enough as well. personally id cut down on a lot of the excess metal on there thats not doing anything to pretty em up a bit, but each to their own.
but, you could have got the same results in a fraction of the time by utilising the original wishbone with a drop-in plate that bolted to the original upper balljoint mounting holes with a spherical bearing housing welded to it.
another thing to consider is ability to lock the threaded portion of the rose joint off too- in the original setup using a female rod-end and a bolt, theres no way of locking the bolt off except threadlock or a sprung/lock washer, neither of which id trust, unless you drill and wire it, or make up some tab washers to hold it.
with the male end, even if the halfnut comes loose, it cant undo itself.
