No need to scrap them - why not find a local engineering company with a big lathe to machine the plates out and then buy some new ones to weld in. Should be a simple job as you could hold the back of the tube in a 3-jaw and then bore the plate out.Unfortunately my lathe isn't big enough otherwise I would offer to do them for you.
