I personally like the idea of a bolt in unit because it allows the builder to get on with the build by themselves without scabbing the welding on a pretty significant item of safety, it will get the geometry correct as it was engineered and also it can allow them to compensate for a few things like rake angle after it is all assembled and driveable. the builder can slot the holes or whatever and when it is correct THEN weld it all in if the need arises. just my opinion, which has been proven to not worth the 2 cents due to inflation. haha.
