thanx anyhow
if you really wanna weld it, maybe get the chromo to join it so your not mixing metals?
or even better, tap it, and join it with a threaded rod and two lock nuts. THen you have an adjustable tie rod.
Also, It is not an arm, its a rod. People are thinking your talking about your pitman or knuckle arms.
Ahhh.. see my post about 10 up re threading

I'd suggest perhaps a few years under your belt before claiming your "gods gift" to Boilermaking.
