MA99E collet - hardened?

hi,
Are Myford MA99E collets hardened? I want to adapt one to take a depth stop screwed into the back.
thanks

Tom you could waste a near scrap tap to put some marks in the collet then thread a piece of brass in with loctite. It will hold fine as the is real stress on it when in use.
