Thanks Chris.  Can you tell me more about the process (if even just a
name)?  I saw the following on the samba, but I, uh, didn't think
metal worked that way:

> A well equipped machine shop can repair your spindle. They would spray metal on it and then remachine it to the proper dimensions.

I ended up tapping some of the spindle areas that should see lower
force (top and back) with a center punch to add some friction, but
would still like to have a better solution lined up for when I do the
LBJs and rotors.

Thanks as always,

Alex
