The front axle on one of my Sideways cars has excessive front/rear play. I'm thinking the way to solve it is to run the axle within a brass tube which can then be held in position by the grub screws on the uproghts.

I am reading that 1/8" tubing is probably what I need (I have a standard 3/32" axle) but I am not seeing details of the inside diameters of the tubing. Is 1/8th" the OD I need to go for?

I love puttering with gears
