Just stripped the threads on the steering stem head nut

(1/2) > >>

Torque specs seems to be waaaay too much in the manual for this nut. Around 50 lbs ft. I stripped the threads of the steering stem :( Any advice? Or is a new stem the only way to go?

I have a good 550 steering column one that came to me foc yours for the postage cost only.

Ted, that is so nice and generous of you. Thank you! Will write you in PM 😊

Oddjob:
You sure it’s the stem not the nut or both?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have stem & nut iirc.
If it's just the nut I have one  pretty sure - chrome is not perfect but all the threads on the stem are fine. Just e maim me my address is on my profile. Ted
