[Xowner]

going tom to see if the machine shop can weld it back up and make the stock size

I would say he means weld the shaft diameter back up so the original thread size can be re-tapped onto the shaft

[Xowner]

also another question were does the bearing ride at on this

[Ginxd00]

Is that a Houser stem? I had the same problem with mine if it is. I cut the part with the threads off and drilled and taped it for a 8mm bolt.

That's what I had done to mine at a machine shop... Made it just like new.:cool:

i just found out their is a half inch missing off the threads
:(

while your getting it welded just have them add some round stock to it, or just cut it all off and and weld a bolt or piece of all thread to it
