Ok, so I welded the new dovetail on yesterday. I'm going to try posting the pics. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa68/ctdave_photos/DSC_0396.jpg

Well it took quite a while but looks like it worked, don't know if PB is really slow or its my cumputer/internet supplier.
Neglected to take a pic before I took it apart but the first pic is what it looked like after removal. So badly worn it came off in two pieces. Ended up drilling holes in new one out to sit over spot weld stubs. Other wise it was an easy job, probably took about 20 mins. all totaled.
