Yes it is one solid piece, and no it wasn't that expensive. Because it is going on top of sturdy metal I only got 1/8" thickness. This thickness was easy to work with and look great. I went directly to a metal supplier in town and I think the piece I got was like $50, and I have some extra left!

I used the pines that have the holes down them for the cotter pin, I took 8 washers and welded pairs of two together so it was like 4 thick ones, I welded one of the pairs to the inside of both the pins and the others can slide on the other end. I cut the old bolts off and slid in the new ones, its actually a pretty simple mod I will post up a couple pictures later I can't now being that I'm in English
