Oh, they did pay attention to detail, money in their pocket, not saving you money.

ABT builds the chassis (or they did), I included the link in my earlier post.

Go to the following link and click on the 'Morgan' image in "Our Customers
Click to find out what we Manufacture for them…
".
You'll find that the Morgan image link is broken while all the others work.

With the broken link, I wonder if ABT is no longer making the chassis. A cold weld was mentioned above, it looks like the weld didn't penetrate the tube. I'd keep an eye on the other joints, especially the suspension tab welds.
Edited to remove speculation.

That's not a cold weld

That's poor design, cantilevering a component away from the frame without gusseting the bracket

Anterior bafflectomy.

Definitely the way to go.

But leave the cat in place.
