the best way would be make up an internal shim about 2" slide 1" in to bar leaving an inch exposed then slide extension on to this, when the two pieces meet leave a gap about the thickness of bars to allow weld to penetrate this would be a really strong repair with either mig or tig,i can do them for you with mig  if you cant find anyone to do them :daumenhoch:
