Wood dowel, and square section sticks

code number	description		cost (+VAT)
C090	3mm diameter, 600mm long wood dowel	each	0.20
C093	4mm diameter, 600mm long wood dowel	each	0.20
C095	5mm diameter, 600mm long wood dowel	each	0.20
C100	8x8mm square section sticks, 600mm long	each	0.20

Tip: In an ideal world the 4mm dowel (C093) would be a 'perfect' push/tight fit into wheels with a 4mm hole. Unfortunately the dowel varies in dia. +/- 0.1 mm from batch to batch. The last batch was thin and loose on some wheels - especially W114/5 and W105. The latest batch is too thick (!) and needs a small hammer to tap it into the wheels. Personally I prefer it too thick than too thin.... I will always do my best to hand-select dowel - especially for classpacks and kits so that it is a good fit in the wheels but you should always be aware of the problem and have the appropriate solutions at hand (glue guns/hammers).
