Papa, Bummer to hear about the setbacks, but any project like this is going to require a bit of creative thinking to get it to work. :) It'll definitely be a...
It's dialed! I stopped at a fastenter shop to see if they had a 50x6mm bolt that would work for my threadless headset- Halleluja, the did. I dropped that baby...
