You could gut the pedestal and not worry about it.

It's nothig to gut. Just a pair of snapring pliers and a 1/4" tap and plug. Very simple don't even have to drill out the shaft hole.

I'm sure you could. I work at a welding shop. We weld on molded aluminum like that all the time but it has to be done with heliarc to make sure you have 100% seal.The mig doesnt seem to burn on that type off alum. as well.
