Like I said it's just abit of humour no problem here, I'm thinking find some 16mm ID bushing with an OD of 25mm.
5/8 is 15.88mm so 16mm is close enough then just tack weld it to existing spindle, it will be stronger aswell with 25mm front end.

I think the OD will be too much I will measure it in morning.

What was that OD?

Maybe these bearings will fit, or could be adapted: http://www.geminikarts.co.uk/shop/Product.asp?PID=1151&GID=3&SID=5664149&SPIN=10076

Sorted some reducers so will keep thread updated when they get here. Should be fine, weld the ends to existing spindle bolt won't go anywhere just got find a spacer now 20x25x50mm to space the wheels.

I am thinking a couple of big nuts it's only to stop the wheel going close to the axle will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Wellll......never mind. .....ain't gonna touch that one.....

Going to the hardware store and get a piece of pipe with a 25mm I'd or better, and cut 2 sleeves/spacers.... Or get a STACK of washers..... Just more options.....

 

[Banny]

Did think of washers aswell only have to make up 20mm

 

[firemanjim]

I needed to a half inch gap between engine and driven clutch. Found 3/4" id washers .120 thick..... Perfect.... I imagine you'll find the same scenario.....

 

[Banny]

Got some 100mm x 25mm x 16 slip over lovely tack welding the ends made some spacers up might have to cut 5mm off them.
Would you like me to post some pics up as it could be useful if others get into the same situation in uk with wheel choice.

You really need to ask?

Well yeah as it seems most members are from the states so wouldn't have the problem.
