You read my mind Gary. Certified welder or not it is not an acceptable
or safe method to weld steering components.

Ed, I have installed a rack-n-pinion setup off an old Subaru (manual unit off '80-84, cheap as dirt around here Like 40-50 bucks at the JY). I'm still sorting out this thing. I cut the jap metric inner tie rods off and welded the AMC inner theaded tie rod end to it. Made custom mounts welded to the front crossmember and shortened the steeing column shaft, installed two universal joints and the Subaru flex joint at the rack end. It's not perfect yet but like I said I'm still 'tweaking' it. This is on 'The Mix 2'. I'm sure someone makes outer tie rods that would fit the AMC spindle and have the same metric thread as the 'Ru inner tie rod so no welding would be neccisary, but at the time I started this conversion I had some time constraints. And yes Doc I know welding in the steering system is a NO-NO but I've never had a problem yet (allways made sure I had a certified welder doing the final welding for me). Gary 'The Mix'
