No worries, I though about welding a bead on the flanges once set up but got lazy and and never did it, but now I have adjustment when ever I want it depending on different springs. The county had a 2 inch lift then later on I fitted a 3 inch lift so it was handy not being welded. Loctite the bolts and way you go. But engineers are probably right. Not to hard to do.

Auh never thought of just a bit of weld on there I think I might give it a go soon because I am thinking of giving mine a 4" lift and it will save alot of hassell with steering and also be cheaper than all the components like radius arms and then double cardon tailshafts etc etc
