Re: Axle taper
This post mentions a taper of 1.5 inches/foot.
https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/2 ... 0tolerance.
For the dimensions shown in the drawing in this post, the taper is 3.546 degrees
A 1.5 inch change in diameter per foot of length gives a taper angle of 3.576 degrees
Respectfully, jb
