Using a die to cut threads on a shaft is easier than trying to drill a centered hole in a crank and tapping that hole. If it were an unbent shaft, you could make the hole using a lathe but since the crank is already formed, you'd need access to a really big lathe, I think.

If you can't find just what you need, this works like a dream. On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 8:28 PM, Barry Kasindorf <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > Anyone have a female thread Vic III crank?
