Since this is highly EXPERIMENTAL we are not sure how it will all work our but this is out plan...

The center of the axle was bored, squared to the face and parallel to the bearing surfaces. The axle is press fit into the bored hole and is zeroed.

The extension will be welded to the axle while chucked in lathe and zeroed. We'll monitor with a dial indicator and weld carefully (TIG) as to not induce a lot of heat and pull the extension off center.

The steel used is a Chrome Molly, SCM420 I think or 4130.

We used std. RH threads. My machinist "doesn't do LH threads." The nut was made by the machinist from alloy. Beta pin from HRC but it's a loaner. I need to find one.

Thanks for the compliment, I'll pass it on. Testing will tell how it works. Hopefully the wheel won't fall off. I didn't loose much weight wise, only 3 oz. but it's 3 oz. right! Probably the most $$ 3 oz. I'll ever pay for.
