Since the webs are purely decoration to make it look like the original have you considered attaching them with JB Weld? It would be simpler than the drilling and tapping and silver soldering. You could even create a small filet in the corners as a casting would have had. It will all be painted anyway. Even soft solder would do and might not require the pins.
I don't think I have managed to catch up on all your progress since I last looked but splendid as ever

Cool Dog looking good, but I would mill a small recess into the block where the brackets will be soldered allowing the solder to go into since they are support brackets. Just my two cents but you know .......I.........like....... Don
Nice soldering! did you end up using some JBWeld to add fillets? Also, it looks like you soldered only one edge to the base. Is that correct? If so, why's that? I would think it would hold the gear box better if the vertical edge were soldered too.Inquiring minds...Kim
