1" threaded forks , stripped thread . Can it be fixed ?

<< < (2/5) > >>

rooski:
the damaged part could be welded up and the remachined,however this would be difficult to do as the steerer needs to be held in the chuck.

Hence the fork legs must go INSIDE the chuck and down the lathe spindle,so that work can be done on the threaded portion sticking out :daumenhoch:

You need to find a BIG lathe that will allow the fork leg to go down the spindle :daumenhoch:

welding in a new steerer may be the best option :)

MartyC:
Filler or braze weld then this...

Whether they are rare or not , I`m sure one of you guys will know ; I think they are from 83-84 from a Hutch Expert .

looks like there's plenty of thread higher up to try the spacer suggestion by 750 rush.
