Wire wheel axles

Link does not work.
 
Can't see the link, but if they are from a later Sprite or Midget they will almost certainty be 1/2" too short. The impact of this on functionality or performance is debatable. Some say they will work just fine unless you are running some big torque monster. I just finally decided that I preferred disks to get over that bug.

They will be 3/8" shorter than steel wheel axles but will work just fine for regular use.
Do not autocross, race, off road rally, etc.
I have done 2 conversions this way on my own cars and never had a problem.
