I would slot the steel strap and grind the threads in order to provide
the rod with a smooth surface to fuse to. I was involved with a ship
yard dock-side crane where the boom (abt 50' long) failed. The boom
hoisting brake had failed where the brake pad around the drum was
attached to a threaded rod which in turn was welded to flat bar with a
flare groove weld on both sides of the rod. It was a home-made fix of
the original connection. I attributed the failure to fatigue of the poor
weld to the threaded rod.
