Thanks Chris. Can you tell me more about the process (if even just a name)? I saw the following on the samba, but I, uh, didn't think metal worked that way: > A well equipped machine shop can repair your spindle. They would spray metal on it and then remachine it to the proper dimensions. I ended up tapping some of the spindle areas that should see lower force (top and back) with a center punch to add some friction, but would still like to have a better solution lined up for when I do the LBJs and rotors. Thanks as always, Alex |
