Now we need to fix the broken selector shaft.
I used a shaft from a KA-9100 as a base to create a
new selector shaft. What we need to do, is to cut
the lock ring slots in the correct location to give
the correct forward length and the correct depth
for the bushing.

I cut the first lock ring slot and installed the lock
ring. This now gives us an index to locate the
second slot position. A short section of the
broken shaft end is located over the lock ring.
The lathe is then adjusted to align with the rear
lock ring slot. The short section shaft is then
removed and the cutoff tool is then moved into
position to make the cut.

Here we have it...
The shaft is cut to length and a flat surface is
notched into the end for the set screw.
