I'm wondering if anyone here has contemplated or done this mod to their EQ6.

It looks like quite a good solution to extend and stiffen up the shaft but I'm not sure how long the threads in the Dec shaft nut would last.
This wouldn't be hard to do locally if you could find a machine shop to cut the threads and turn the shaft for you.
