It is 10 years since i had one apart and cannot remember. What stops the inner cup fretting on the bolt? Is it a tight fit and clamped by the tube distorting?
Teh shim adjustment is fine if you have a jig to facilitate compressing the assembly for trial and error. I use two long threaded rods and simple end plates.The springs when effective presumably shield the arms from a lot of minor reactions.
Before I learned that new steering arms are avilable I contemplated a belt and braces bracket. But I have since found arms cracked at the turned seat radius..... Which might eventually occur even with replacements if treated brutally..
