Message: [QUOTE="dezryder, post: 1071579, member: 67371"] [b]spendy part[/b] Could you take a punch and punch a bunch of dimples (Raise) in the aluminum inside the whole in the bottom triple clamp and then press the stem back in? Or somehow knurl the bottom inch or so of the stem itself to get it some hold? How about both of the above and some epoxy and then press back in? You might be able smack the bottom end of the steering stem to render it slightly out of round so it would press back in...but that's a risky one because you could go to far pretty easy. How about heating the stem and tinning it with some brass and then you could remove just enough to get the press fit you want? Okay, I'm out of ideas for now. (I didn't know you could weld aluminum to steel, but if you can...well then...that's the easy street fix.) [/QUOTE]
