The fine threads on the spring retainer cup and the mating threads in the top cap are pretty good except for a burr in one spot. I was able to get most of the burr removed- enough that it shouldn't cause any trouble. The two pieces mate fine with no sticking.
I brazed the snap ring groove with high strength aluminum repair rod, and it will get machined this wknd. We'll see how it works.
A new PFP top cap assembly is $500!
I'm surprised this broke they way it did as the forks have about 200hrs on them with no other problems so far.
The brazing looks a bit gumbied, but this rod is a bit touchy to work with, especially since the surface isn't flat. The stuff has proven to be quite strong when I've used it before.
