For the Sake of discussions. What is the wrench size on the nut flats and then the threads sizing. I wonder if the replacements are inferior to the Orig design? & can a Guy take Cone style and TIG weld a appropriate sized Jam nut in place for a working option.

I cross threaded one of my Origs as the "J" part of the nut was 'Sprung' which lead to miss alignment of the starting thread and caused a problem that I quickly corrected by NOT forcing it and removed and tapped it out and was really careful starting the bolt again.

I might be able to source one or two factory ones if you are in a jam, but the ALL you can take might be a reason to start fabbing these, if the Cone are just a disaster

Jim

Clamp the break closed, v groove and weld it. Grind, hand file to finish.
Welding would the same as a butt, small tack and cool between welds until complete. Blast cabinet with medium coarse media and low pressure to give the repair a slight texture.
