got the old girl on rollers and cleaned the shed up a bit and decided to start on the straight axle, the way i do it is by using a short beetle end casting and tube and extend it so the bearing sits level with the long axle long casting tube , which is about 28.5 mm longer the only downside is the drum sits about 3mm further out but it hasnt caused any dramas as everything still makes contact

to keep it aligned i use a sleeve inside the tubes
