Where to spot weld this pillar?
 
Are there any places to spot weld this to the inner rocker? I assume between the bolt holes? I looked in the assembly manual and only saw the spot welds for outer rocker.

This is the part Im replacing

I cut my replacement at a length close to where I was sure I had good metal on the original. Then I traced the line on the old piece, cut it off below the line. Then I welded the two together, while making sure the bolt holes were lined up and the metal edges were close. fairly simple job. funny how many people make this out to be heart surgery.
