After seeing this post of yours I went out this morning to look at mine, I hadn't really thought about it before - anyway mine looks very different - I guess yours broke off right where that inner step/line is?

Yep that’s exactly where it broke. Who knows if it happened with the swing arm recall or if it just broke another time. I’m going to see if I can find someone to make me a piece, weld it on and thread it. It’s always something....

Trust me on this, just buy the factory part and have it installed. There is no way to match the threads after it's made, thread pitch and alignment are critical and anything less than perfect is just as big of a problem as this is. As a tooling designer, a machinist, and a tool and die engineer, the factory part will be the cheapest way out on this. That is unless you choose to run it as is, since it's worked up to this time. I'd want it right, my two cents. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

I think we should come up with a good caption for this pic of Gerald FunCycle . I will start
" Honestly I didn't take the last muffin "

Looks like FunCycle was having a good time!

Thanks. I’ve concluded that I’m going to have to do just that, and it’s not going to be cheap. But my local dealership sucks. I’m going to have to search for a reputable dealership first. 325+ slings here in Maggie Valley and not one with this issue. Figures.

Why not just cover it with DDM nut cover or mytoy cover?

Problem is that it's barely holding on by a thread. I'd want a dealer to fix it if it were me.
Met several of our forum members today at the DDM and Slingshotinfo tents, was fun chatting with everyone.
