new to mini bikes and need a little wisdom

[charliesharp]

I bought an old mini bike from my nephew and I need an axle for the back. I am not 100% sure on how to measure for it.

It is 8" between the mounting points, so I'm guessing I need a 10" axle with 1" thread...I know it is a 5/8 diameter.

I appreciate an assistance

correct, and you'll need spacers on each side to get the wheel centered (5/8" inner diameter pipe, custom cut to the correct length)

Unless you're trying to do a full-on correct restoration, I would just get a long bolt with threads only on the last inch of it.

Thank you!! I had a 6 hp engine laying around and my nephew had the frame, so I'm now putting together a pit bike lol

Welcome aboard. This is a great site! :thumbsup:

You can probably find your axle and spacers at OldMiniBikes Warehouse. It's the place to go for this sort of thing.
