1" master cylinder rebuild kit alternative

In my earlier years... I made a pitmal arm out of 2 other arms. I had a professionally welded, but I got nervous so I had it X-ray checked. Absolutely 0 penetration in the middle, infact there was a gap and it looked like Swiss cheese where it was welded. I went in a different direction.
I was actually thinking of welding and X-ray when I wrote my reply. Over here welding on steering parts and control arms is strictly prohibited fort obvious reasons. Not everyone would be so thorough and really ensure the quality of the repair as you are.
