I received the repaired fork back from my brother. Fork now almost better than new!

I’ve attached several pictures for reference.

He used a lathe to shave down a piece of tubing so that it would perfectly fit on the inside where the original fork stem was welded to the replacement threaded stem. The replacement fork stem was blue, but after grinding down the non-threaded section of the fork stem, you can hardly tell a repair was done.

For those that have bent and/or striped out fork, this may be a repair worth considering.
