    I saw Eaton/ARB/YUKON make lockers for the 7.5 also eBay had a cheap one for about $160.. I haven't used neither one but those are reputable companies. Welding is the cheaper route but it will break on the long run since you distort the tensile strength with uneven heat exchange/transfer when welding. Curious, what kind of power are you making?
