Wanted to see what methods if any I can try on this part to repair the external threads. The threads on a 1" steering stem from a Harley front end are stripped in the middle. The stem is welded in and removing it would mean re-chroming which I am really trying to avoid.
The portion of the threads that are stripped is where a thin nut that preloads the tapered neck bearings go, then a top clamp goes on over that and another nut at the top.
Do people ever lay down small beads with a welder and run a die over them?
