Default - Seld-M-Bend Rear axles - Orders Open.







Here is a look at the my Beefed up 6mm rear axles.
The new axles are turned down M10 x 120mm 4140 Cap head bolts.
A small amount of material had to be removed from the housing because when assembled the housing would clamp tight on the axle shaft. I would estimate around 0.5mm off each side was all I removed with a 6mm round file. New ceramic Boca bearings were purchased for the lock out end 11 x 6 x 4mm and M5 Flanged lock nuts for the wheels.

Note: VP hubs do not allow you to tighten an 8mm socket. The central hub locator had to be removed and a plastic packer placed in between the wheel nut and the wheel to be able to tighten the wheel nut properly.

Correct cut and then treated with a blackening spray. The machinist did two sets just in case one was not right(fortunately both were perfect). One raw and one blackened.
