I flexed my MS Paint photo-chop skills... the RED in the pic below is where it will be welded... the other side is the same but cant be seen at this angle...

That will work too as long as you can get the TIG or MIG welder torch in there at the proper angle to weld it right. I would weld the rotor side part to the DOM first then put the spindle side bracket in place and weld it from the spindle side where it is easily accessible. This way you have full access to the weld area to do a good quality weld all the way around the DOM tube.
