Hi bjork
I understand your concept, similar to motorcycle front axles. I'll try sketch it.

Modified original sketch as a guide, adapt to suit your motor/swingarm. Remember if you recess the nuts, make it big enough for a socket to turn the nut, mustn't be tightened a lot as bjork said, just hold axle in lace before tightening the end caps.
Bore for axle and flats should be as wide as practical and slightly interference fit so the cap firmly clamps and locks the axle in place.

Cheers

Yes, this is about what I mean. Only difference is I would like some material on the outside of the clamp, around the axle. That will still keep the wheel in place if you manage to brake the clamping bolts or something.
I don't know if it is really needed, it is more of a "gut feeling". It would be very bad if the wheel came off. But it would also make it harder to remove the wheel, and harder to make the dropouts.

I am totally with you that it should defiantly clamp on the bigger part of the axle, that is the most important part.

I hope the reason you didn't finish the thread is that you're having too much fun with your bike.

and it allows for the cable to positioned parallel to the inside of the swingarm rather than sticking upwards.

Downwards orientation, with a drip loop, is better. Don't let the cable serve as a conduit to direct moisture into the motor where it will be hard to remove.

Also, make the flatted hole as thick as feasible, to reduce the opportunity for damage to the TA or axle.

Thanks for this insight. It only takes foggy days to ruin your motor. It may not be instant but rust will gather and grind. This man's advice is valuable.
