Yeah, I think I'd rather see a tapped hole as well. As for the weld, I
guess it depends on the item that needs to be welded. I've had everything
---From pistons to cylinder heads welded and never had any problems, but it
doesn't matter so much if the engine on a bike cuts out (I wouldn't fancy
being shot by the rear piston on my Harley going through it's cylinder head
though!).
Cheers,
Mark.
