---"I bought it that way... never knew it was welded".

---I know one of the Aussies was saying that it was illegal to weld any of 
the steering components out his way, but I think that is more or less 
regional (pertaining to a certain state, city, township, etc.) just as much 
as headers in Burbank Illinois are illegal unless you have a builder's 
permit and the vehicle is on a trailer, but you can drive through most of 
Illinois without a worry. Local ordinances, so to speak, can be a PITA.

---FWIW, misterfixit (Paul) on the binderbulletin is from Oz and he is 
trying to find someone to weld his pitman arm. He found himself a 
Landcruiser gear box to go on his `78 Traveler, just needs to create a link 
between that and the Scout drag link. He is a truck driver, so it must not 
be illegal out his way, or he wouldn't even consider it.
