welding front spring hanger

how do you guys weld the back of the spring hanger?? ive looked at the back but the radiator is in the way of welding it from the back. i stitch welded mine from the front and sides but not from the back behind the crossmember. will this be ok?? my welds are very thick and penetrated about half way through the hanger. any help or suggestions is appreciated. thanks

I had room to weld, (though barely considering I acidentally touched the welder to the rad. and bought a new rad. just unbolt the rad and slide it up enough to weld the back

I know you're already done with this part, but anyway...I had room to weld back there without removing the radiator.

thats what a few of my friends told me, but for some reason, the bottom of my radiator is dead on flush with the bottom of my crossmember. just lifted the radiator and stitch welded the middle today.
