Thanks guys. When we started I wasn't sure we could reuse these pieces of trim as they were missing a good half of the studs. We tried these and had good luck with the Capacitive Discharge welder in not introducing any heat to speak of (and thus heat damage that you'd see from a normal welder) it was too good a result not to share in case someone else needs such a repair. I would say the welder costs about 2000+, so unless you need one REAL bad, find someone with such a machine to perform the welds for you. Allen did have quite a few of the studs left, as well as threaded ones from 4-40 up 1/4-20. If anyone needs such repairs I'd be happy to act as a go between if you couldn't find such a service locally.
