Wheelbarrow axel

[vapd]

My barrow needs a new axel.

It is a simple design. A bolt with thread only on the end and a tube that fits tightly into the wheel and that revolves around the bolt. I can't find one anywhere and none of the steel tubes that b&q sell were the same diameter. Any ideas?

New shiny bits will be in the post this afternoon











(I put a piece of the original 12.5 o/d tube in just in case there is a bit of wear inside the bore of the wheel )
