Ideally,

You want to use a snap ring, its the most robust method. Teams have had great success with the bolt + washer method along with the clamp collar.

1/4-20 bolt + washer OR clamp collar work out of the box, you don't need any machining. So your free to choose either.

You can snap ring the end as well if you have access to a lathe.
