and I know I'd want the one that failed removed as far as possible. First, it failed, meaning there was most likely something wrong with it. Second, a new weld will add mass and you'd have a large, lumpy weld. If it's out of sight, that wouldn't make much of a difference, but anything that will be seen needs to be ground down first.
