Re: Do you have to use 2x1x1/8" tubing for a WCD?

Those bearing blocks on many wcd's are really nice, and if we had the resources, we might do it that way, but they are not necessary. We also build ours like Mr Reed from team 48 explained. I use one of those step bits to drill the 1.125 holes for the bearings. they make a real nice hole. It's not a super tight fit, but a little loctite takes care of that. The real trick is getting them perfectly across from each other.
