this is the only link i can find... http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... +top#67835

i think plating & redrilling might be the best option.

Cheers , That's the offending piece, pity the link didn't tell you just how they fixed it, but thanks for the link
Plating and redrilling might be the go as the top of the tower seems worn and stress cracked

You're not wrong.

But whats harder than doing the weld, is cleaning the surface up enough to get the weld to stick

Remove the front clip and do both sides at once... Will make for a stronger, nicer repair.
