Is it feasible to make a strong weld on the cast arm?

I found using aluminum stock to reinforce and adjust the plastic components worked well, then us stainless hose clamps to attach to the arms, which is much stronger than nylon ties and allows some subtle adjustment and positioning.

Although, in the end, I pulled all the deflectors off and installed full ducting.

I'm still interested to hear if there is a measurable improvement with the deflectors. I was contemplating ways to add cooling deflectors to the rear brakes.
