Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much what I thought, just wondered if anyone had recent dealings with yamaha on the subject. There's about one turn of good thread on the shaft to get the nut started, after that it is flattened off. I think I'll re-cut the thread to get the nut on and then weld it. One spot sufficient or two for good measure?
If it ain't broke.......just tinker with it a little anyway!
