| REMINDER: there is always some tolerance on the o/d of commercial precision ground rod. ALWAYS measure each end of each axle
before reaming the wheels - if in doubt ream a piece of scrap metal first as a test. For press fits I usually ream 4.75 mm for 3/16" rod
and 6.32mm for 1/4". (0.02 mm less for Tufnol bushes).
|
| ADHESIVES: several builders secure wheels to axles with Anaerobic adhesives. These give you the chance to quarter the wheels
on the axles by trial and error before setting. Locktite Retainer 601 "For high strength retention of close fitting parts" or Locktite 603 (oil tolerant version) appear to be most suitable.

BEARINGS Brass bearings for 3/16", 1/4", 6.0 or 7.0mm axles.
Down each side is a 4.0 mm wide slot which gives a sliding fit in 5/32" width horns (or 1/16" frames edges with 3/32" strip). The 9.5 mm width between the horns gives a sliding fit for 3/8" horns.
There is enough metal at each end to recess for spring or to thread for a stud.
The 7.0 version is just thick enough for widening to 8.0 mm if needed.
£1.57 each
