I stitch welded mine James

Welded 1/2" missed 1" on the outside, on the inside I put in 1/2" stitches in the midde of the 1" gap.

It will probably warp like hell if fully welded ;)

I used a piece of 1.6mm sheet for mine, mainly because that's what I had here in stock .

i welded the plate on the side then just tacked it bit by bit worked a treat. think there are some pictures of doing it in my photo bucket somewhere

i boxed mine in both sides as it meant one less bit to edge trim for iva
