2) Remove my section 1 and have either CPR Fabrication or my buddy TIG weld in some bungs.

3) Attempt number 1 without the help of CPR Fabrication. I have been playing with the notion of building a JIG and fabricating the section 1 myself. I have access to a full machine shop at work along with my uncle being a very good machinist (also has a full shop). This will obviously take longer, but my buddy is pretty decent TIG welder and he is willing to help. I have a solid steel table to use for jigging it up.
i'd say option 2 would be the best as far as time and cost.

That shop looks great, and right next to burns stainless!
