‘26-‘27 Axle Taper

Post by QGolden » Fri Aug 29, 2025 11:57 am

I am looking for a source for a drawing of the ‘26-‘27 rear axle taper, keyway etc.

I am building an HCR and want to make use of ‘27 wire wheels that I have had in stock for a while. I will make an Axle, but need a drawing of the end taper, keyway, threaded ends etc.

For the front I will be using a modified T axle so I can use T spindles. I have several books, but evidently not the right one. 😝

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Assuming you have correct hubs for T wire wheels ? Isn’t the axle taper and keyway the same for all T tapered
axles ?
