As you can see in the photo, the recessed area has a dent; not readily visible is the crack in the middle of the dent. The studs are splayed out and the threads are buggered up. I would rather change this to a nut plate arrangement anyway. I can see 6 or 7 spot welds around the perimeter, but the forward most edge appears to be seam welded. Any suggestions on how I should approach repairing this area?
