After much discussion with our local A & P and A & I. as well as input from this community we went to AC41-13B and decied on our approach. Many thanks to our faithful Hatz assoc Pres "Painless" for his patience, advice and metal working skills.
Also to a local welder Craig Emmes, with decades of Tig experience who made the welding look easy.. The main repair was clamped and then rosette welded and the right side was strengthend with gussets. Everything now works properly. And applying the "five foot rule" the outcome is aestheticly OK. The photos should be self explanitory.
