Right, it has those hex ends. I still don't recall seeing anything actually welded to the torsion bar. There is that cam shaped thing that fits on the end of the torsion bar towards the rear, but as I recall, it slides into a hex shaped end of the torsion bar.
If such a cam key could be slid onto the torsion bar, a hole could be drilled through both and pinned. I've seen enough failed welds that I wouldn't trust a weld on a torsion bar. Maybe it could welded, but what effect would it have on the spring of the bar, and how well would it last over 20 or 30 years. I honestly don't know the answer to those questions.
