1) I don’t know the alloy
2) I don’t know your welding skills
It is possible - in general terms. I’ve done it and lived to tell the tale. Made a fixture to hold stuff in place first. Despite that I got a lateral offset I still DON’T know where it came from which caused some assembly issues. Caliper and rotor were planar and centered though.
If you decide to go this route I suggest you put the caliper on the front of the opposite leg. This eliminates all risk of wheel ejection.
