What kind of welds are on this cat? Are they raised, or flush. Can't seem to find any good pics. Also, the only ones on the Meng kit are on the front. Are there none on the sides or the rear? Thanks

Slightly raised, check Prime Portal, there's lots of Leopard photos there. Canadian Leopard C2's are similar to A5's with regards to the welds. Also beef up the welds around the lift lugs.
