Over the years I have seen different processes done in media to fix components, what is the process called where you weld multiple beads to the axle to make it a wider diameter only to then make your threads. Just want to get a quote for the damaged threads which is only 1/2" of threads in one section but also a smaller section where the nut bottoms out while tightening and skips threads, right where threads are needed the most!
What I will have to do is buy new nuts and see how the threads are. I have tried buying them before from a specialized fastener store, and they did not fit, perhaps because the threads are boogered.
Plan B is to buy a new stator from Leaf which aint cheap, better to spend extra and just get a new Leaf 35H, this time a front hub so no more mandatory fat forks :thumb: for my rear hub in the front. Its been a real challenge to find fat forks locally, used fat forks are even harder to find for QR, straight, either forms of brake mounts, both would be nice but even rarer. Sunlite fat fork is reasonably priced but those axle threads.
BIG MISTAKE - Those stators are to small for the 35H Leaf 1500w.
I might just get a fork made, I found a guy locally who only welds steel bicycles and claims to be a bike builder, I tried to get him to fix my alum framed bike but he does steel only. He probably would only work from pre-purchased, pre-curved tubes. Those wont do, if I will get it made, an extra pound of steel wont hurt, big beefy dropouts, perhaps build in clamping ta's.
Re-threading the hollow axle (for the wires) for smaller threads came to mind but wont be wise for my needs of 1850w max at w.o.t
Its not even wise for low power people because its a safety item, to not mess with.
