Subject: stress cracks

Has anyone else found stress cracks on the rear fender where it bolts to
the back frame? It has a tab on the inside of the fender to prevent
this, but it happened anyhow. Did I tighten the bolts too tight?

I also found stress cracks where the tabs are welded to the bottom of
the battery covers. I'm getting those braized.
