as everyone else has said it isnt right , the weld hasnt melted into the metal more sat on top the welder wasnt set high enough, manufacturing fault , regardless of supplier i would get on to manufacturers who should instruct a local supplier to rectify or at least arange the transport for you to get it repaired

like i said before it's a cold shut weld

I stand to correct myself on a previous post of mine, I do have this bracket although have never noticed it before, 

Close inspection does show that it is in tact although the welding is something to be desired, the word blobby comes to mind and the area is also covered in weld splatter.

Littler etc.

You're right, this is a manufacturing fault and should be repaired by Trigano.  We do plan on contacting them to detail what happened etc. BUT, to be honest, it's mid May, we're doing a trial run in my parents garden next weekend then down to Wicklow for the June long weekend and then to France the end of June/beginning of August.  To start getting into a battle with Trigano now would possibly mess all of that up - especially as there doesn't seem to be a Trigano agent with the facility/expertise to repair it in Dublin and we'd get into the logistical nightmare of returning it either to the vendor or to Trigano themselves.

It does need to be raised with the manufacturers but as we're not going to return it to them or their agents for all the reasons listed I don't see us getting too much joy.  Also, the whole excitement has been dampened enough at this stage.  We're lucky, we have a way forward which won't cost too much and will hopefully leave us with a better TT - we just want to get on with things and enjoy ourselves
