93TxWG

I now have an improved Stainless steel axle-nickel coated and polished. "As is" can beat about anyone else "as is" with a raw BSA wheel. Have seen some very bad BSA wheels lately, suggest testing at least 12 raw wheels to pick the best 3 for spin & stability. The "as is" axle is aimed at the growing number of folks that just do not want to put any work into a car. Those that know how to polish can find this thick nickel very easy to polish. Those that prefer a true stainless steel can just polish past the nickel plate and get to the stainless steel. The Pro may find the reduced bearing surface a tad faster than longer bearing surfaces. $9.72 per 4 axles in bulk.( 5 sets)

If you polish off the nickel coating , what would the axle diameter be?

Nickel is between 0.0005 and 0.001 thick. So axle can run 91-92 mils if you polish it all away. Many will take 0.0005 off when polishing SS so they end up with a 92 mil bearing. Some SS tool marks can require even more polishing. Of course a lot of racers polish way more off with over working the surface. With the nickel filling up tool marks, the possibility exists too polish just a bit off and have a gazillion rings of both SS and nickel, with the softer nickel polishing away faster, and the diameter is just under 93 mils and thicker than you would have with only SS to polish. ( this is a very general statement as SS vendors vary a lot with how deep the tool marks are- how rough the surface is, how much work is required to get the fastest surface.)
