And the reason you don't want to drill them out is.....? With a good drill bit you will be done in 15 minutes, have them assembled and on the car before the hour is up. Dish liquid is a big help in sliding the bushings along, and a hammer. There is no particular need to weld the brackets back together, just use slightly longer bolts to pull them up to the frame. I think the welded them at the factory for ease of assy on the line.

On the outer ends, I have better luck with hooking the clip onto the bottom of the arm, then using a C-clamp to compress the bushing and clip toward the arm. When the clip is touching the top edge of the arm, I use a thin screwdriver to help the prongs up over the edge. Another turn of of the C-clamp and the prongs will drop into their slots.
