First off Congrats on the yellow!! As far as handle goes, if your good with a mig you could try that otherwise I think most guys will drill a hole and use a stainless bolt and washer, NEVER do the JB weld route, as for leg sockets, same as handle, drill a hole but use a fender washer inside the bowl, spreads the pressure out. Good luck and i'm sure there will be tons of other guys here soon with more and/or better info!
