I pulled my stator tube today. I knew that it was broken and I am rebuilding the steering box. I wanted to show a few pictures of it just because to this point it has been a bit mysterious to me. It's really hard to get this whole thing in the picture. It also is not the straightest thing in the world. Is that going to be an issue trying to get it back in? I am assuming that the bend coincides with the union between the two shafts. You can see where the bend was rubbing.
My other question is why does it break? I assume that most everyone breaks in that same spot. Don Elliot if you read this I remember you saying that you had mig welded yours back together. Any pointers on getting it straight?
Also the last picture show an unusual ballooned piece. there are two and I assume that this keeps the tube centered.
