Thanks guys.
Had a quick try with the MAPP gas, but decided I was going to be there all day as the parts weren't small.
While doing a bit more research I found someone who had used stainless arc rods and peening with reasonable success.
Gave it a go and seems to have worked well enough for this job.
I think the nature of the structure and position/size of the welds might have a bit to do with it.
Apologies for the photo quality - the camera on my phone just didn't like the light in the workshop today...
To give some size context the outer ring is wrought iron - I'm guessing a wagon wheel tyre. Around 1.2m (4') diameter.
