I have been searching high and low on this site for Mr. Peter Laidler detailed instructions on how to weld it. Will some one point me in the right direction? Thanks

"We used to put a length of copper plate into the full length of the undercut and make good the slot at each end with mig or gas where necessary. Then we had a handle which would take a hacksaw blade, We'd use this from the rear to get the right undercut. Done loads of them. Once they'd gone through the workshop they'd come out like new "

I recommend small welds, carefully dressing with a stone & file.

the most important thing is to dress the bolt head to reduce the possibility of damage.
