I plan to use a bicycle front wheel with a non-threaded motorcycle axle (to avoid goofy responses, I’m using a motorcycle fork and the end of the axle is threaded for the axle nut, but the part that goes through the hub is smooth, this is for a 212 build with a torque converter and I’m building it to resemble a motorcycle, so for speed and looks, I’m not wanting bicycle forks). My question is, can I drill out the cones to slide onto the axle and use spacers or washers to get the cone and bearings into proper position, or should I press out the bearing cups and find sealed bearings?
