It goes between stem and bearing raceway for the Kawi to center it and threaded down lots for a good solid pull down. When the timken bearings arrive, they'll be a drop in fit to get away from the loose balls of old. I'll take pictures of the pieces next week when putting it together. Came out pretty nice.
