Correction for the above---
Blueldr recomends a length of 1/2" copper PIPE for a tail wheel bushing on a wheel with a 5/8" axle hole. 5/8" copper tubing is soft and might not be as straight as piece of 1/2" copper pipe which is the same size. If usung this set up, use large 5/8" washers or spacers to keep the industrial wheel centered in the tail wheel fork.
