Default Wanted Axel for Grob 103 Tail Wheel

Does anyone have an axel they are willing to sell for a Grob 103 Tail wheel?

Thanks,

Default Wanted Axel for Grob 103 Tail Wheel

Is it a special part?

When I recently replaced my solid aluminum tail wheel with a split brass
wheel, I learned that the wheel (on my glider, at least) is supported by
machined bushings on either side and a standard 12mm bolt through the
center.

Tim,

We had a similar issue last year wit our G103. I believe the solution was found by going out and having someone manufacturing a replacement that worked with the 12 mm bolt. I can get details if you are interested.
