Ok why not. I’m in just gotta make up my mind…well that was fast. Lost my wooden cold fusion axles so I’ll have to drop in the fixed brass axle. Hi tech for the win.

If I make a plate of bearing locks with everything else I’m doing I’ll happily send folks a few. That’s a cheap part and even better can fit in an envelope

I haven’t sliced a file for that yet but my calculation on a plate of Aldi keys fit my wife’s mom group was like 75 cents a key or something silly like that. The bearing locks would be significantly less material.

All that to say I’ll see what I can do. No promises but if I get time this week I’ll let yall know.

Sounds like a product the Boomer Club can look into? Wonder what it would take to get Brass Axels made? Mr85? A Size? D size blanks are available. C blanks available occasionally.

Something a lot of people don’t consider is asking the machine shop at the local vocational school to take it on as a project. A lot of times they’ll do it for a modest donation for materials.

I work with a machine shop in my business. I am not sure this would be a project they would take on. But Ill ask the next time I take something over.

Will have to work out a dimensional blue print.

Thankfully bearings are a standard manufacturing part so dimensions should be published it’s just designing a quick cad file. That’s a later this week thing if I get around to it.
