Thread missing? 8-3/4 housing end as welded for shortened housing...

We located the guy who welded it.. He kept saying M-O-O-N that spells straight



It was lopsided, a blind man could see it.. Maybe said vendor couldn't. Either way, I hope it gets fixed.

You do realize that just because the housing end isn't perfectly aligned with the tube doesn't necessarily mean it was done incorrectly, right? To me, that's a sign that whoever narrowed it most likely used a proper jig and did it correctly. I've done a few using pucks and a straight rod. They were all off by at least 1/8"-1/4". At some point, it's probably worth straightening the housing, but I never have and they all worked great and the axles slid in like butter.
