Rob,
I agree that it is an ugly job. I am happy that no-one I know did the work, but it is an interesting part of the vehicle’s history.
I would think that you would want some sort of cross bar to mechanically tie the two sides together. I do have a somewhat rusty and bent registration plate hiding somewhere. If I can remember where it is hiding, I can take some pictures of it roughly in location to assist in developing a solution.
