Not sure where you are talking about welding them, but you need movement as the wheel goes through it's travel and also for steering.
Just be careful about what you weld solid, maybe consider some pillow ball tops or something

Theres basicly a sleve glued into the top plate and the bearing sits in that held by a circlip.
was done like this to absorb some shock
Have found some info that says people have welded them when the same thing happend but nothing if there was issues down the track

I know there not made any more Baz, just after i got them i realised i should have gone with the race ones.
aside from that urathane crapping out theres absoultly nothing wrong with the rest,bearings are sweet , its why im trying to find out if anyones turned them into races and how it all went after some time.

if done correctly i cant see that it would be a problem, that said it would involve total removal of the urethane prior to welding

Instread of welding it up could you get a new bearing to fit in and maybe a weld in cup or something, it would be alot safer.
