All the Thunderhex being used was purchased this season.
We broke 2 taps before realizing that the hole on the new TH was not to size. Serves us right not checking before hand. The last few axles we did drill out with the correct drill bit before tapping and it was a breeze. While this year's TH shafting has the issue with the center hole, the outer dimensions are perfect so far...the flats fit to 1/2" width and the rounded corners fit inside the TH bearings without needing to file.
