I think those V notches are called "darts".
My friend and I did his pickup with me on the inside pulling on the welting and tightening the bolts, while me was on the outside to make sure everything kept lined up as I tightened the bolts. I don't recall if we used tape to help pull, but I'm thinking the welt had enough material without adding to it.
