didn't even see your post, that is a good idea, however I don't have a tube bender. I think Im going to do the pie cut, but add an internal plate on the face of it, it'll be trick to get in there and weld once it's closed up but I'm sure I could work something out. Maybe even add an external one too. Seems like the easiest way to go about this situation with the tools and experience I have.
