HH-Pretty sure you won't find an insert for a 7/16" dia bolt. If you did, It would take a hydraulic tool, to do the insert setting.
What HH sez about the how-to on the welding is 'spot'(pun intended)on.

I'm guessing I'll end up fishing it into place and tacking it or drilling it out and flush welding a nut in place. That stuff I have on hand, although I do think the insert would be awesome. Now if I come across one I may just try it out.

Lumpy - Back when I swapped in a 231 V6 and Ford T-18 in my '80 CJ5 I had the exact same thing happen to me. After a long search I found a blind hole nut similar to what the factory used. The tool was expensive so I bought some nuts and tried to figure a "work around" solution. Honestly I can't remember how it all turned out. I didn't have a welder at the time. Every now and then I still run across one of those nuts in the garage.

I have tons of stuff I run across in the garage that I bought for "something" that I ended up not using because I did "something" else.

Lumpy - true enough, unfortunately I don't squeeze into a hole and hold o like the nut inserts do.
