The M5 thread would have to be drilled and tapped.

This bike uses a White Industries ENO eccentric rear hub which uses a M6 (?) bolt (allen head bolt threads into hub). Would you consider making a small run of these ? (Alternately if you made a version of the nutz which was tapped for M6 then I could thread in a stud instead). Any suggestions regarding how I can get my trailer to work with this hub would be very welcome. Otherwise I'm gonna have to buy a machinist a lot of beer (nothing good ever comes of that). Thanks.

These use the M5 pitch thread as do most rack/fender eyelets. You can run an M5 bolt out from the eyelet and then turn the non-skewer side of the BOB quick release onto the bolt. As far as I know, this method hasn't been thoroughly tested, and will likely void both your BOB trailer and bicycle frames warranty. It also could put quite a bit of stress on your rack/fender eyelets and may cause them or other parts of your bike frame to become stressed and possibly fail.

Are there BOB Nutz that can be fastened to other holes on the rear of the frame? How do you determine the correct spread for the BOB fork?

Surly racks would likely have clearance issues with BOB Trailers. http://www.bikebagshop.com/tubus-vega-rear-rack-p-1029.html I’m not sure what the rack in the photo is, but I can say that the Tubus Vega is an excellent choice of rear rack if you intend to use a BOB as well.
