<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>
