I bet this guy making the parts has had some experience putting threads into some pieces? Either way I would like to give it a try on a few parts. If anyone else does make sure you share your experiences.

It's doable, I'm assuming a simple press fit threaded insert with some epoxy mixed in would be fine, however I would not want polycarb bulks as they would flex which would mess with the gear mesh inside the diff. Aluminum is the way to go for bulks imo.
Edit: Or you could easily just use a simple hex nut on the other side, but that can get sloppy if not done well.
