I looked at :
Hollow studs:

(not very precise)
For a lot of money you can get precise (but no threads):

There are also a lot of smooth tubes in various other levels of precision.
To your point, none of it looked very promising. The plastic shaft seems to be a pretty good alternative.
I'm may need to re-do the hub parts to get them to mate up with my aluminum bar arms. Once I need to re-draw them, doing this or that while I'm at it isn't that big a deal.
Thanks!
