TR2/3/3A The Stator tube...Looking for the thread on the best way to cut the slot in a new stainless steel tube? Tried the Search option with no luck?

Does anyone know how I can locate it? How would a person hold the stator in place and what tool to use? I'm also interested in the thread on welding small tack welds on the stainless steel to hold the 2 lantern shape spacers from moving. On the old original stator it looks like small raised indents were just chiseled in place to hold them? Guess trying that with stainless would not work because of it's hardness. Is there another way besides welding to accomplish this?Any help most appreciated. Karl
 

Photobucket defiled all the pictures, but I think you can make out how I did it.

Thanks John I have read that the slot is supposed to be 1/16" wide? Would it matter if it was 1/8" wide or would that not mate up with the dimples on the trafficater tube? I haven't looked into it yet but I think a dremel cutting wheel would probably be 1/8". Guess I'll need something that will cut stainless steel as well. I dont want to screw up the slot at this point. :unsure:
