Default New Chainplate

All,
I need to have a new chainplate fabricated to replace one that broke. I pulled the other side to use as a template. I don’t like the way it was constructed. The construction is three piece. The long tang (~3.5’) is bolted to the bulkhead in the cabin. The tang then goes thru the deck and is welded to the bottom of the “beauty plate” that is screwed to the top of the deck. The third piece that accepts both cap shroud and lower turnbuckles is welded to the top of the “beauty plate” at 90˚ to the long tang. Is having the chainplate integrity dependent on two welds asking for trouble? Am I being overly cautious? If not, does any one have any ideas on how to correct.

Thanks
PaulM
