So I have drilled the holes and cut the slot but I don't see any reference to welding in the brackets in the pelican tech article. Should I weld them in or just tighten the bolts and not worry?

"Nutting-and-bolting" the mounting plates annually is probably one of the things that has kept yours in good shape. Even if you don't, the plates do seem to hold up pretty well without welding. Welding them in, however, adds more strength (when done correctly).

The stock setup simply has three nuts welded to the inside of the fender, and the retaining bolts thread into those.
