Rather than use 3-digit codes for this, we based them off the codes for the non-threaded version (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I would suppose that using an existing mold to create an axle, and then cutting threads into the element, makes a lot more sense than trying to (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It is round, and ribbed on the outside (ribs parallel to the axle), and I've never seen a part that could be machined down to make it. (well, not easily, you could probably (...)

Just spouting off a theory without any actual knowledge. :-) I was just theorizing that it would probably be simpler and more accurate to mold the basic nut shape, and then run a threaded tap through it to create threads. At least it seems to (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
