<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill, actually there is plenty of room in the
Bolly wheel pants for the NMP axles, I have them on my current plane.
The only thing you need to do to make them work is install a 1/4 spacer
between the axle and the inside of the wheel pant along with a longer
4-40 bolt to accommodate the spacer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, and I couldn't agree more about this
piece. I have a set, and there just isn't room for it inside the Bolly
CF pants. Thanks for the help!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill, if you are looking for a very clean and
simple way to mate your Bolly pants and gear, you can try a set NMP axles
(p/n nmpaxlefg) from Central Hobbies. The axle set sells for
$6.97. These axles do not use wheel collars. the wheel is
placed on the axle then held in place with a small e clip. The axle
is attached to the gear with a 4-40 bolt threaded through it. This
allows you to put the wheel on the axle then place it inside the wheel
pant. You will have one hole drilled through the gear and wheel
pant to allow a 4-40 bolt to pass through. With this you are
simply clamping the wheel pant to the gear when mounting the axle.
This is most likely the lightest set-up that I know of along with a set of
Dave Brown wheels. The only problem is that the axles are made to
fit Tetra wheels, so if you choose to use Dave Brown wheels the hub will
need to be modified so that the wheel will fit on the axle and still be
able to install the e clip. If you need details on the wheel
modification I can explain that in another e-mail. I can also e-mail
you pictures of this set-up if you are interested.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thoughts on mounting the Bolly CF pants to
the Bolly CF gear?? The pants are grooved to match the outline of
the gear......will the axle, mounted with an aircraft nut, prevent
rotation of the pants?? Does everyone "capture" the outside of
each wheel with a collar, or let it ride against the pants?</FONT></DIV>
