Adding wide whites on FTE axles...
model40fan Monday, 3/2/2015
wheels are Gov'ner's, 1/16" aluminium tubes cut just longer than needed, filed a radius on the ends, the FTE axles slid right in...rubbed graphite onto the ends... I didn't grind slots for j b quick in the tubes, instead I crimped the tubes with the axles "in"...
Slots cut underneath the delivery's base ;
Base is drilled under the axle centers for "JB RIVETS" to anchor the tubes ;
RAAB tool aligns the wheels / axle tubes ;

I like your idea for crimping them in. I am not so careful with the jb weld as I should be. GOOD IDEA!! THANKS!!

The axle tubes make it nice, because it doesn't matter how long or short the axles are. They will work, no matter what the length they start off!
