unfortunately this is the only pic I have of it. but if you've ever seen a normal one you could probably see the difference. the stem pressed in from the bottom and only pressed in so far due to a ridge. but it was about a half inch too short. so we pressed it out and filed it down and used emory cloth to get it the right size to press in far enough and so the bearing and race would sit flush with the triple. and since there was now less material holding it in we welded a nut in as the picture shows. then to clean up the look we JB welded a nut in the bottom and used Loctite to hold the bolt and washer to clean the look up. not that many people would know to look there but it was for my own mind. hope you can picture what we did with that.
