Maybe the holes were drilled to low. There's a reason that I never liked the Schumacher kit for the late V8 k-member, and that's it. There are a few ways to fix it, including cutting the saddle off and welding it on a little higher...
Depends on the 110 volt wire feed. Most of them should work fine. If you are asking maybe run some practice welds on similar thickness material. Adjust welder settings with that material not your k.

Yeah, good point. I can weld, just never owned one, any shop I worked for provided them. I'm not against getting one, just don't want to spend the money on a big machine at this point in my life.
EVERY Direct Connection k-member that I personally built was with a 110v wire feed. There were a few a buddy of mine stick welded and some more that another buddy used a 220v wire feed. I've used flux core and gas with my 110v. My current welder is a Hobart 140.
