Engine lid hinge bracket, How to reinstall? Options

[watsonrx13]

I have an engine lid hinge bracket that I need to remove and weld a new one on. If I have the rear window still in the car, how do I hold the bracket in place to weld it? I do have the engine out of the car, should I bolt the engine lid to the existing one and the new one, then have someone hold the engine lid in place while I weld?

If you have any pics I would appreciate them.

then have someone hold the engine lid in place while I weld?

if you still have the old one you can trace it out before removal, then just hold it in place with one hand and tack it on, then finish the welding.

if the old one is long gone, put the bracket on the lid, hold the lid until it lines up and mark the top and left/right of the bracket, then proceed with the above ^^^ ...
