I was wondering what size of brass tubing people use to make new axles or just to extend the wheels base?

Thanks in advance Earle

HotWheels, MBox, and Johnny Ltng require 1/16" tubing.
Jada axles are a little larger in diameter and use 3/32" tubing.

Quick axle tube tips;
The ink tube out of a pen is the perfect size for Jada axles.
The straw from a can of WD-40 fits HW and JL axles.

Thanks for the ideas guys, i should have been more spefic though in my first request. I guess i would need both. replacement for axles and the tubing size for extending the wheel base.
