Excellent repair! I like seeing that you did it in a way that I never understood until just recently. I have been doing this stuff forever and would always cut the piece being welded in perfectly, geeez. I finally (don't know why, someone telling me I was a dummy I guess) began doing it like you did there, weld in the piece then trim it to size, geez. I STILL will forget to do this and it's SOOOOOOOOO much easier and better to do it as you did there.
Right on!  Thanks for the reminder.
