1.5mm bore top hat axle bearings - do they exist?

Chaps, I'm hoping to obtain some 1.5mm bore top hat axle bushes (about 2mm thick preferably), but have drawn a blank so far with my Internet searches. The closest I've found has a 2mm bore x 2mm thick. Note, (I'm after a 1.5mm bore all the way through, NOT pinpoint bushes).

Does anyone know if such a thing is even made and if so, could you provide a link please?


Regards

Not that I'm aware, but Branchlines would probably be the first place I'd ask - Gibson don't do anything suitable, while Markits do 1.5mm bearings, these have a 2.4mm outside diameter (ref. MRAXFB1.5). Any good? Failing that, 1.5mm x 2mm tube can be had from Eileen's I think?

Hi Dan

Another possible source is Haywood Railway - they do not have a website but you should be able to get contact details on the Gauge O Guild website and they are on the list of exhibitors for Guildex.

This type of bearing is supplied with their wheels.
