That is a very good point. I have actually not thought about that before. One nice thing about a thru-bolt with a delrin spacer is that you could buy delrin round stock and make the spacers yourself saving a ton of money. We spent $150 just on standoffs for our drivetrain last year which used COTS threaded standoffs.

We should be able to buy raw stock and tap the standoffs ourselves, so that should be be much of a problem.
