fender to cowl nut

Thanks fellows. Has anybody ever just welded a nut in? I don't see how you could, but I could be wrong.

That nut is a bear to install, and most do not sit correctly, being reproduction. What I do is thread it onto a bolt, and carefully insert it into the cowl through the fender and then pull down on the bolt while tightening it.
 
I don't think you want to weld it in place for you want to be able to adjust the final location.
 
I swear I just saw an assortment of those in a drawer in my local hardware store, they carry a supply of "Automotive hardware"
