OBS door handle?

Drivers door has the flop going on. I’m thinking about making my own plates I’ve got a lot of metal laying around. However I’m also thinking I don’t want to fool with it, it might just be worth it to buy a kit and be done with it.

Most all the kits I’ve looked at use rivets. Is their any reason for this other than making it easier for us DIY shade tree mechanics? I’m tempted to weld a plate to it. I’m always looking for reasons to use my welding machines. 🤷‍♂️

Do plug welds instead of using rivets? Easier to remove the repair plate if necessary?
