Wanted 12mm front axle bolt and side spacers for flexifoil buggy

Okay- rust on the bearings one and to protect the hub and fork from damage I had to cut the bolt and side spacers - so in search of the 12mm flexifoil front axle assembly if anybody has one they want to part with- let me know- fortunately since I had sold this buggy- I was able to send the buyer the one from my other buggy but that leaves me without- please help
Thanks

1/2 inch is a hair over 12mm by only .028. I have used a piece of all thread from Home Depot. The one by my house sells metric all thread, and nuts. Or you could try lowes also.

As for the side spacers, electrical conduit works too. Of course you'll end up with a bit of extra for the next time the rust comes to cause havoc.

Try boltdepot for the axle bolt. I used a bicycle handle bar for spacer stock. Check that it rests against the inner
race of the bearing and not the shield.
