well as you know in my blog, i spied some unsightly rust on it 
this was a few weeks ago. someone said 'chances are its a got a big hole in it if its original...' or summat to that effect and guess what. it has
so iv looked on egay, found one, which is good, but my question is, does it have to be welded on?
i ask this cause after scanning other peoples blogs, lookin at there pics ect, a few have bolted them on. But my friend, and trusty semi qualified mechanic, says that it has to be welded on, not bolted. but it doesnt matter if its welded or bolted when it comes down to its mot, as its not load bearing.
now im doin mechanics my self(may come as a surprise seein as how little i know) and i dont really know the answer lol. so yea any help would be appreciated. i have another friend who knows how to weld and he said he'l do the welding for me so iv got that sorted if i need it.
