Not everyone has a hot wrench, so there are a couple ways to do this

Hot wrench is that a new name for a Welder? + a Lathe or large pipe cutter & a V-block or take it to your local machine shop. $25 bucks and they'll do it for you << cheaper than the cost of the correct die & die holder. Plus, then it still has the correct slot for the spacer washer.
But you are right "lots of ways to do this" I like it to look factory like it was never touched myself. To each there own, I guess.

LOL hot wrench has been around for decades, yep oxy acetalene welder slang. Good idea to have it done at a shop cheap and agree on the assembled appearance looking and fitting stock - thanks
