I thread the aluminum and use #10-24 button head screws. Center of tapped hole is (radius of bearing plus 1/8") from center of bearing.
I have built all my gearboxes at nominal center to center for the gears. I also run for 5-10 minutes with the wheels off the ground for break in without lube, than lube with lubriplate and run on the ground.
