I'm going to try to braze them up and use a half round file to shape it. Stay tuned. Sent from my LGLS992 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I can't get to the center without melting out the ends, but Ithink it'll survive. Sent from my LGLS992 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Silicone bronze with a tig works well. You can bore them out and put brass bushing in it. If you drill it ou you can use a sized reamer to get the hold round.
Unfortunately, I only have oxy at my disposal. But I figure folks used to use it for everything. And while drinking whiskey. I'm only drinking beer, so................ Sent from my LGLS992 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Update! None of this work fixed my speedwobbles. So I blew the entire frontend off and rebuilt it all. Never found the smoking gun, but the wobble is gone. Sent from my LGLS992 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Think I would have drilled out the rivets and replaced the plate or enlarged the hole to accept a new piece of metal, welded it in and and re-drilled the hole
