Finally getting to the brake plates.
Do I cover weld the entire pad or just a bead on the outer edge?

Just fill in the worn area between the arrows then finish flush to the original surface.

A few adjoining tack welds, a die grinder and you're good to go.

Just need to build up the worn area and then grind it level with the unworn area. I'm in Oakdale, just off 694 & County 14 (old hwy 5).

Thanks here is the result of using a mig welder and grinding.
How does it look to you?
