You should be able to weld the 5mm plate if you prep the plate properly. Grind a 45' angle along the edges,take your time and fill the gap in with a Z pattern this is called stich welding. Your front wishbone plates, grind the welds out and them do them again. Holding the tourch in your right hand (if right handed reversed for left) at about 45' so you can see the wire, work from right to left so you can see where your going. You need to push the heat in to the plate not drag the weld over cold steel,this time use more power slower wire feed and move the torch slower.
