Weber Performer Bowl Tabs

[tb80]

Has anyone broken off the tabs on the bowl of a Weber Performer kettle that are used to attach it to the frame and then bolted them onto a new bowl?

Welded, right? I don't know if anyone's done it. My guess is that it would harm the donor bowl (which probably isn't a concern.) If it were me I'd more inclined to just find some workable stainless steel bracket and then bolt that to the new one.

Keep in mind that sometimes you can buy new Performer bowls from Weber or ereplacements.com, even some discontinued ones.

I have.  There are two or three spot welds on each side of the bracket. 

Drill them out with small bit.
Pry bracket away from bowl.
Finish with dremel or hack saw.
