Tom,

I wouldn't be a conservative as the others.  The plans call out the option 

for welding, so it is an acceptable method of joining he pieces.   I would 

expect that if you told a competent welder what the materials are he/she 

would pick an appropriate filler material and weld prep procedure.  The bead 

doesn't have to be flush, so he/she may not even bevel the egdes.  As for 

the existing holes, I definitly wouldn't worry about the hole in the end 

fitting. It's designed to have holes in it.  And I wouldn't worry about two 

1/8" holes in the tubing, except one of the goals is to seal the tube up as 

best as possible.  So, I would rotate the fitting 90degrees and have the 

welder fill in the tubing holes.  The one drawback to welding is it burns 

the primer off the inside. Trade-offs.

  And yes, a quick call or email to Van's to confirm won't hurt.

  Dave
