If you can't get it welded can't you try to make up some sort of sling type brackets from some thin Stainless ;).

You can buy some very large Jubilee Clips matey. I know because i have some. I'm actually a welder/fabricator by trade, i couldn't be bothered welding my back box with small brackets & i didn't want to spoil it, so i actually used two very large clips & they work very well :y
