Thanks for the info, perhaps once the wideners in stock I'll see about trying to modify the order as I may add extra barrel nuts too. I'll be happy either way though. Thanks!

Any widener kit updates Don? My inner child is impatient and wants to play with my new wheels.

Ordered mine today, now I just need to track down some MiniQlo tires.

Any chance of getting the Widener Kits back in stock?

[screwed]

theres a post about the widener kits somewhere. he's having troubles finding a machine shop to do the barrel nuts at a reasonable price. just gotta wait.

I dont know about everyone else, but, I would rather over pay out the azz than do the Danally (Cut my stock cheap azz wheels in half and re-glue them) Mod so I can run the larger QLO Tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How bout this, Get the Aluminum wideners from Don at BW and then order the Derlin widener kit from Crawler X and use the Derlin barrel nuts on the Aluminum wideners????? Just thinkin out loud here.

stainless steel nuts > Derlin nuts.

You think if they were so easy to find I would have posted that?

I know why BWD doesn't make new nuts. BWD and Crawler-X must be working together. BWD keeps its nuts off the market, and Crawler-X becomes the only supplier of barrel nuts for Micro Crawlers. I bet soon Crawler-X will jack up the prices because they've got a monopoly on the Micro Crawler barrel nut market. It's a conspiracy! Pretty sneaky, but we're onto you now!

Thanks for bringing this thread back. Guys, I am workin on a solution to this issue of no barrel nuts. I have hundreds of hubs here that need barrel nuts, those lil buggers have just been a total pain. It seems an easy enough part, but parts that small require very specific equipment and tooling to handle properly and efficiently enough to make it worth while.

I think at this point if the cost goes up, you'll still get plenty of demand. Either that or you're proving my conspiracy theory! ;)
