When originally brazed on somebody might have then taken a wet rag and rapidly chilled the metal so they could touch up the paint sooner? That could have caused cracks. Which might have gone unnoticed or ignored if there was a cause for a expediency and an attitude that they would still hold.

Just an idea?

I watched a friend chase a crack around a car fuel tank one day whilst trying to do a brazing repair. The crack appeared to be caused by the brazing process and the job ended up very messy.
I saw it but I can't explain it.
