piece. I have a set, and there just isn't room for it inside the Bolly CF

<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>
