So having done a trial fit holding it in with magnets, I went at it with the mig aiming for full penetration without melting the lot. In fact it was slightly too shallow, but perfectly adequate as there is no strain on this bit other than holding the window trim.

A little bit of fettling with a coarse sanding disk on the angle grinder, a dust off with zinc rich primers and altogether I'm quite pleased with it. Not exactly car bodywork standard, but hey - it's a digger :ddb:
Just waiting for a tin of the right grey paint to arrive and the job'll be finished.
John Rudd:
Nice job..... :clap:
Are you going to re-upholster the seat? :dremel:
Could do with a new cover.... :coffee:

Thanks John.
Funny that you should mention the seat - I've been keeping my eye open on ebay for a suitable replacement, none have turned up, and I was idly day dreaming just now of trying a bit of d-i-y upholstery if I could find suitable material.
Yet to find how it comes off, but I'm sure that it must somehow :scratch:
