I talked to Michael earlier and we decided on a great way to get the bore to the proper size. I found the sprocket and adapter will fit in the lathe and i can clamp to the inside of the sprocket. I will then get an under sized hole saw to cut it closer so ther is less material to machine off. The tool I will be using is a little complex to describe of text but I will post pictures of it when I get it made and start cutting.
If cutting one down slightly undersized it would almost pay to do some pyramid knurling to the adapter surface. That would give it a mechanical "bite" to the hub.

I think that would work.better if it were done to to the steel of the hub. I could try to do that with a file, but I think some 638 loctite and a few roll pins should be more than enough. Remember I am trying to do this cheaper than buying or building a good set of wheels for the meantime, paying to do work like that or the machine work would probably cost the same as if I bought a good rear wheel. I have the adapter and will have the stock wheel, so all I will have to buy is the loctite and a few roll pins. The rest juat takes a bit of time and I'm okay with that.
Several hours with a triangle file and you could put "splines" into anything. Cost: Hours.

It depends. I may or may not. I don't really want to take the.hub out and fighting with the spokes doesn't sound fun.
I know. I'm not saying you need to do it at all. I wouldn't bother myself, just wanting to see how far you are willing to go.

If I were already going to pull the hub I probably would do that, but I don't feel like trying to re tension a whole wheel just for that lolI know. I'm not saying you need to do it at all. I wouldn't bother myself, just wanting to see how far you are willing to go.
But I thought you liked making things difficult on yourself Gordy...lol.
