The inside diameter of the bearing is 5/8" and the original shaft on the assembly is 1/2", so just needed a short length of 5/8" tubing with a wall thickness such that it would slide over the original shaft. Found that in the offcuts from someone else's building project. Notched out one end so it would fit over the support tubing, then a 3/16" bolt to secure it. Could weld it if you had access to a welder. Works a heck of a lot better than that pizza cutter which finally collapsed.... The new tail wheel is Aircraft Spruce part #06-03500 $23.85.JG[image: Inline image 1]* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
