Frankly, i think it will fail. That kind of torsional strain will crack the epoxy easily. Just cut a slot...I found this little widget that solves the 'to slot or not to slot' the soundboard (lid) quandary...

a truss rod wheel adaptor!
Only problem is, the hex on the nut is 5mm and the hex on the wheel is 4mm, so i figured I'd just buy a new nut with a 4mm hex.
But the thread on my trussrod is M6 and all the nuts i can find with a 4mm hex are M5.
And I'm struggling to find a truss nut with the wheel in M6... so am now reluctantly toying with possibly gluing the two together
Epoxy is the obvious guess since there's a good half mm gap to fill between the hex fitting and socket... but I'm open to suggestions.

The nut, when just engaging with the truss is flush, so I'm supposing I'll have to make/leave a little playroom for the wheel... but how much? I've never really touched any of my truss rods but I'm guessing I won't ever need more than a couple of turns on that nut??
Q: does the nut even wind in at all, or is the rod being pulled through it??
edit... instead of glue, i'm gonna try this:

an M6 threaded connector that's 25mm long and 9mm dia. (same as my current truss nut) with a hex screw in the end.
initially i thought an M6 grub screw glued into the cylinder would work, but they have a 3mm hex... and cap screws have 5mm but luckily countersunk M6 screws have a 4mm hex, albeit a shallow looking one. Can't see why it won't work... but i am making it up as i go
it'll need a slot to accommodate the wheel... but the wheel fills the slot and deals with my OCD. ...and I've concocted a truss nut that avoids epoxy... which should work (with a bit of fettling).
I don't think Lemmy would have approved of either
Yep, I've seen the video where he was buying the 'mono' box set saying it sounded far better
is that the one where she'd just sold the last one and Lemmy went and blagged it out of the hands of the purchaser?
Yep but to be fair she decided to allow him to purchase it, it wasn't like he even asked the woman who I think actually worked thereis that the one where she'd just sold the last one and Lemmy went and blagged it out of the hands of the purchaser?
Typically, the M6 connector was actually 10mm dia when it arrived, which wouldn't fit in the hole on the neck.... instead of glue, i'm gonna try this:

Rather like this headless bass I discovered recently. I always thought they were ugly but since I found this Bootlegger Ace I’m beginning to change my mind.Ugly guitar alert!
It's ugly so say the least 💩
However then i saw it being played; perched on the lap it's fugly shape all of a sudden makes perfect sense...
and now it's growing on me. I kinda want one
