That said, it seems to me you have scoped this out as well as anyone could, and if you feel confident that these mods can be done with a reasonable amount of accuracy and precision, I say go for it.
Would love to see pics of the process, as well and the result.
Good luck!
It seems there is a wide variety of styles when it comes to thru-axle hubs. For years they were basically all the same. Now, all bets are off. Of course I'll document what I'm doing as best I can.
As far as precision is concerned, I don't think it's all that critical. There are several mm's of adjustment in the assembly now and there will continue to be after. I think the biggest thing will be getting the L-R position of this to match the original wheel since I'd like to be able to swap them without having to re-adjust everything.
