Default Modified Vehicle Compliance Advice

Hi all

I have a question. I have a small 'bracket' that is welded to a cross member on a factory vehicle. See the image below. I want to dremel off this bracket, move it sideways, and then weld it back on. It is folded 3mm metal and I can see that it is only lightly welded into place. This is to fit a FWD Transmission swap (IB5 to MTX75). I am in NSW.

I'm new to this and not afraid at having a go. Does anyone know how this is interpreted for Compliance purposes? There would be no cutting or weakening of the actual cross member, and I'm just relocating a factory component. I expect I'd have to have the welds done by a professional as my poke-and-stab splatter welds are not very robust.




Luke
