NEW QUESTION

Okay here is the background. I bought a bmx style foot peg to use as a drive wheel. It has a cruiser threaded end, which fits the engine drive shaft perfectly.. It also has a mtb threaded end.

Now, I would like to run a half inch bolt into the mountain bike end to hold a washer so that I can enlarge the diameter of the peg. In other words slip a cover over the peg and then run a washer and bold in the mtb end so that the cover wont work off.

Here in lies the rub... I can not find a bolt anywhere with the thread used on mountain bike axles. It is 3/8 x 26. I thought I would give the forum a try before I move to plan B. Plan B is a lead anchor and smaller bolt. Probably have to drill out the threads as well.

Plan C is to drill a hole all the way through the cover and the peg then use a cotter pin.
