This is the stuff that an average shop can’t do. You are saving major components without compromising reliability and function. I love it! And stop calling yourself an amateur machinist. I envy your skill!
I got a lathe, I've got aluminum rod, I can make one sized to .001" in far less time than it takes to drive to auto parts store that may or may not have what I need.
@IronHeadCycle That's cool, it was just a thought. Not busting ya, just a nod to what's available. Sometimes ya just want to reach into a bin a pull out the dodad ya need.

Thank you... I know the real machinists are laughing at me...
Let them laugh. They probably can’t save an old Sportster like you can! A lot of old Sportsters, especially CHs have had a hard life.
Another great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty sure welch plugs are available in multiple sizes at any quality auto parts store....all the way down to 1/8 inch.
