The material is ductile cast iron. It does not take well to welding. If your sleeves were pressed on tight they probably will not move.

Hello guys. Thanks for the compliments on my Tiger. The stock springs even if shimmed will not produce enough pressure to handle the increase in horsepower and there is not enough room on the shaft...
