Re: Rusty rear end cups/trailing arm mounts - now what ?

The actual coil spring cups look pretty good, but I will likely replace them and the bolts when I get this apart. Guess I should post a pic but camera is not here right now.
I am concerned about the triangle piece that is welded to the rear end housing on each side that the big U bolts go through, that sit directly on top of the trailing arms, how thin can they be and still be safe ?? Or how to fix ??
