Reply to comment by Diligent_Nature in Where to get custom-threaded steel rod? (U.S.) by MisterFroy

I would user cotter pins but I’m worried about the axle integrity at that diameter? Should I be worried?

It depends on what it is on. Load, speed, etc matter. Cotter pins and washers are common for low speed applications. Threading becomes necessary where side play is unacceptable.
