good topic, with no easy solutions. years ago I saw ads for services that would build up the bottom side with weld then replate it, but I have not seen that offered for a long time. I have read about fitment problems with the repros, as one member has said. As I recall the complaint was that the 90 degree bend was not defined enough


getting the lower springs on and off is challenging, as is replacing the anti-rattlers within the tube.


too bad the later columns did not use the replaceable quadrant that the earlier versions did.
