Hey Capt,n I would be careful doing that. You do have clearance there in the threads, both the stud and the hub. Depending on the quality of the tap, the condition of the machine and the ability of the machinist you may indicate something that really isn't meaningful.
Seems like to me if you take the hub you have turned and have stud in place and take a light finnish cut on unthreaded part of stud, you could see right away if there is a problem. Maybe I do not really know what "I would be carefull of doing that" in this case means. Knida like the big ..hoop-te-do.. of when I made a hub by cutting out the center of a flywheel. I have read where many other peole have done it later. They was not replied to with a "be carefull" the sky is falling in" Guess I won,t post much . I have people PM me and I think I like that better. I can then give then my phone number and I call them if they want. No charge...no hoops! Capt,n
