    I know a guy that ran a bird with a ramp welded in it and a tall homemade spacer and gained nothing when he switched to a tall carbon hat.

    you dont have to weld it there are bonding agents ( apoxys ) out now you can use to bond the piece in it would be just as strong as the weld and never come out i made one on mine several years ago and used a urethane sealer that is used to put windshields in with it wont come out using that either
