I just had an idea. I have a mig welder. So, I may center a better race onto the fork, and tack weld it in place. The fork steerer had a shiny thin ring worn around it, from the top of the original race, so it was loose from day one appparently.
The brass stock sounds pretty good too, so it would be removable.,,,,HD

Here's a full pic. Intersting mix of entry level Shimano AX, and a huffy made frame.. Three
piece cranks were almost unheard of on low end bikes back then. That was the height of the
HUGE chromed out rings with fancy guards, and one piece cranks. The complete crankset
is alloy on the AW's, it has two tooth steel inserts about every ten teeth or so. It uses an early style BB conversion
kit, and a splined steel axle.
