Thanks!!!
You guys all rock.
Glad I got some good feedback. That was my hope, to start documenting before the build, to help with things through the build.

I considered tapping, but I do not have taps, and I am not so sure a partial depth tapped hole would have enough meat of aluminum, which can also strip easier than stainless. Also, need loctite to make sure it stayed.

If it were not for the grooves, that allow me to make a capture spot for the nut on the outside face, I would have probably gone that route.

I will report on metal thickness when I get into this over the thanksgiving break.

And yep, 17" pans for 16" wheels. Seems like it is wheel diameter + 1" for most wheels I read about on Ecomodder. Could not find that size locally, except for Grainger, who just started selling them recently.
