Thanks murray.
Why only weld in the plug holes?
Would I remove the push in plug and fill the hole completely with weld?

Reason I ask is everything I find on the web (which must be right...right?) suggests welding the total circumference of the tube. Although this is all American, kings of the overkill...

To be honest if I only need to weld the plugs I'll be very happy.

cheers
