I want my next build to have side plates. What's the best method of attaching an axle pin? I'm thinking of threading one side with a 4mm tap then screwing a mild steel 4mm bolt through sticking out about 3 mm. I'm then going to heat the stub and hammer it flat like a rivet to finish the external side. The roller nut will slide over the bolt with just 2-3mm protruding so when I fit the second plate the bolt will sit in a divet hole on the inside of the plate. I'm sure this will work But I do notice ...
