Re: What would you do? Lynn,
Going by the pic you provided with the -8 7/8"- measurement & the pic from John Ross there appears to be enough of the threaded bush outboard of the weld area to allow you to simply remove enough material to accomodate the locknut. That should allow peace of mind in regard to the 'loose' thread while you investigate the actual settings and means of obtaining them.
