Does anybody see any potential issues with cutting threads (extending the threads) into a 1" threaded fork steer tube? I have one that is too long and I wanted to cut threads in it and put it on a frame.

I know that some steers are butted, but I've checked that with a long stem and that doesn't appear to be a factor. What would I use?
