Hi Joe Non-standard in this case means they don't have it. This is a bearing distrubitor that I've never been to that didn't have 3 to 5 grades, prices, of any size. I think the od was standard but the id was odd for the od. I didn't push it because I don't like the set-up. It has a 3/16 bolt running through the axle. It's a Dehli (sp) set-up and I take it that this works but I want more between my prop and the ground. I'm a ways from useing it but when the time comes think I will make another axle in a common size, 3/4, and put a 3/8 bolt through it. To put cone bearings in means they would need a nut on each end to keep the pre-load right. Ball bearings should work fine if they are good ones. As I say I'm a ways off and still thinking of going back to a tailwheel but was wondering if other people were using this set-up, that 3/16 bolt scares me.
