I want to order some K&S brass tubing to make bushings for the guide, but what is the correct diameter to buy that will fit in the chassis hole, and accept the guide without slop? ( here in Italy we work metric and I will buy via mail order from the States)
And what the diameter of a brass tube that will go over the front axle to make front wheel decoupling?

Thanks!
Ciao
P.S. Do you know if also in U.K I could buy this brass tubing through mail order?

Hi Xlot, yes I am racing at Otello's track and also at Ciampino ( Ninco 8 lane but without any lap counter); the tubing I have found here require some metal work, and is metric I believe; I will check the other shop; but : what is the correct dimension in inches?
I will buy in the States at Tower Hobbies ( good service but a long waiting time for us in Italy); in their catalogue ( also on the Internet) the dimensions of the tubing are of the outer diameter or of the inside hole?
BTW : as an italian is hard to talk in english to another italian!
