The shimano components are well within their warranty, so if there aren't enough threads to get proper torque, we'll ask for the shop to supply the part, either a couple of mm longer or simply threaded to the ends.
I'll post up what I find. Thanks so much to those who shared your experience with this hub. It really helps to have first hand accounts from experience mechanics.

If your shop runs into the "distributor doesn't know what the hell they are being asked for even when given a part number by Shimano", give me a holler. I can always make an axle for you.
