Driver50x - My local Lowe's didn't have them either, but the local ACE hardware did. I guess different stores in different places...
Before welding the tubes together, the thread bungs need to be welded in place. I cross-drill the tubes near the ends so that I can plug-weld the bungs through the sides of the tubing as well as welding all the way around the shoulder. After welding, the welds are ground smooth. then I run a tap through the threads to clean out any slag that may have gotten in there and also to take car of any shrinkage from welding. Now, finally, I can weld the tubes together.
