Hinge repair

When I removed the passenger door from the BD the upper ear on the upper hinge broke off. I posted earlier that I was not sure what to do; replace or repair. Given the result from the lever shock welding, I figured I would give repairing a shot. I grinded all the edges to get a deep weld penetration, as the surface of welding was very limited here. I heated the pieces and welded with the door bolt as a guide. This also turned out well, and no visible cracks to be seen. I will settle with this repair, and now proceed with the rest of the repair on this door, and keep the original hinge.The weld seen across the hinge is some old repair with oxy-acetylen solder. Will take care of that later.
