is that a bushing? looks like an easy fix....

Hey T,
Nope, that is just a "spacer" that I used, to not have ta "run" the nut all of the way down, just for a quick test fitting
We can't just adjust the hub over a whole 1"
...'cause where the caliper will be mounted, dictates where the rotor need ta be
My right brain tried to say "It'll be fine"
...but, my left brain was like O-He** NO
...& "get your azz back out there & fix it"
So, I had ta "bite the bullet" & attempt a modification
OMG this SUCKS!
...such a purty weld
...& I have ta ruin it
So, I used a cut off wheel, in the Dremel to try some micro-surgery
...as to try-n-not remove much material from the ends of the tube
...& also, ta try-n-not gouge &/or scare up the bushing holder too much
Also, removed the offending 1"
...from the center of the upright section
Clamped 'er together
...& re-squared 'er
...& then, re welder 'er up (again)
* Notice we have ta use a 9" "spacer" now
Also, double checked the spindle squareness, again
...& then, trimmed the bushing holder down (~5/8" extending out each end)
