Wadkin ags 10 Lock Nut

[Fergie 307]

I was thinking along the lines of obtaining a length of suitable threaded bar and matching nut, available from the people mentioned previously.
You could then let the threaded bar into the end of the spindle in place of the existing one.
If Deema made the shaft then he will be well placed to comment on whether that is a viable option.

There should be a threaded hole in the end of the shaft to allow it to be extended, this can be used with a collar / bush to create an alternative nut arrangement.

Here is a question, asked with complete naivety - Could a nut not be cast around the threaded spindle? Maybe some form of reinforced epoxy or even bronze?
