Not too difficult. Make sure that your weld line does not run across any area which would have one of the raised stampings. Use the same gauge of steel (16 or 18), and weld it in. Take a small piece of bar stock, about 6 inches long, and grind a squat diamond shape onto the head. If you want to make it real accurate, make a plumbers putty mold of one of the stampings. You could also make a bit for an air hammer. But doing it by hand is probably the best way. Sorry, no real experience- just doing it next week on the Carryall running boards.
