you can bolt in but for a more secure and safer bond you need to weld.

I agree, but most would bolt on unless they know of someone with the equipment for welding.

200 times better! .....No! Honesty I can see welding in only the most extreme applications. I would bolt them in first and see if that gave me what I needed first . If you do weld have someone do it that really knows how to weld!
