Hi All
On my own SR the stand and frame was thrashed when I got the project 30 years ago
No internet or online parts back then and phoning UK cost a mint
I set to and welded up the worn stand and frame pivots and got the holes back to 1/2in, round
I drilled through a piece of round bar to make the tube, Then I welded the tube in place between the frame lugs to provide a long bush to support a new spindle, which has a nut instead of splitpins the spindle is now locked to the stand and has 4in. of support, a grease nipple is fitted to the middle of the bush
This was probably the first job I did on the bare frame and a long time before I got the bike on the road, Its been fine for the last 18 years
