I have one high on the tower like right above the fender well - It's not too wide i was just going to mig weld mine shut. I'd be careful with settings if your going to mig though since it's thin metal (use shielding gas obviously). Or you could probably braze it. Arcs really hard unless your highly skilled. you could tig weld it with a little practice but mig's the fastest and easiest and just requires a little cleanup afterwards
