I have a Sirio .18 drop in for a Maxx. The problem I'm having is the guy who had it before me cut the pilot off the shaft!! (why..I have no idea

) The problem is I haven't been able to find a pilot shaft adapter to fit.
The threaded part of the crank is the same as a 2.5 crank so...
the pilot for the .15 won't work (thread size way too small)
I bought a New Era pilot shaft for a .21 conversion (uses 2.5 clutch, flywheel, etc.) and apparently standard .21 shaft tread is still smaller..(really close, but still doesn't fit)
Can anyone help me out here??
