Here is what he's talking about...The backstrap with stock lug...Now, if this were mine (with a ground off lug), I would cut both backstraps above and below the lug, and TIG weld the good strap + lug to the frame you'll be using...and then mill/grind/file the welds...

TIG welding is shielded inert gas atmosphere welding...using a tungsten electrode...pretty much any good welding shop can do it for you...Mating the two parts together so everything is in the right place is the trick...Might be a good idea to make a jig to hold them...

This part of the grip frame is a non-stress area. It should work out fine.
