Default wheel hub shim

my cub wheels are just slightly to big on the axles is there a method for installing some sort of shim to take up the slack??

Some plastic control rod outer sheaths will work, usually the red Sullivan brand.

Default axle

ya can usually find copper/alum. tubing also and make a bushing. i believe that has 3/16 axle and you can get 3/16 i.d. (inner dia.) tubing. it will probably be better then original.. -Tinman-
