Don,I have a Dan Price head and we've tapped the front of it for the steam tube. I don't think I've ever seen one welded. I would not really recommend welding it for two reasons, firstly aluminum takes so much heat to weld I'm afraid it could possibly warp the head, and secondly it's just not needed when one can drill and tap it so easily. Be sure to get it up near the front so it relieves that steam pocket that forms.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
