Welding is best but maybe an epoxy like JB weld?

Subject: Upper control arm bushings, replacement question

  84 vanagon.   Is there an alternative to spot welding the bushing shell
to keep it from spinning?  Maybe drill and tap in a short small machine
screw or something?
I've watched some videos (thank you Ken Wilford) and they show the bushings
are captured in the arm by a small tack weld....but I have no welder.
