to make it look more like a Manx wheel. You can buy them as add-ons for Triumph hubs.

The Non Q D earlier AXLE will go in ( same lateral fit ) MUCH Stiffer . I bored the conical spacer as was conveniant . in a 68 triumph swing arm in a Triton .
Maybe you could get the alloy anodised black .

Q D ( the old Iron drum swine ) leaves the drum / sprocket CAPTIVE .
the long scrawny axle drops right out . If you dont tighten it properly . ( Just kidding . Tho it might . )
Whereas these one pice axles , tightened down by Sampson , arnt as wobbly .
Some of em have a spacer sleeve . I bored the conical sleeve for the non Q D axle . It all fell together no trouble . though the TRIUMPH Swing Arm is ASSYMETRIC . one sides out away more .
But you can see those are Triumph engineering THREADS , whereas the Commando used a Coach bolt . In comparison .
Aledgedly the LAST of them had a external thread for a CUP bearing retainer - so they dont split . Likely retro mod'd be no trouble . Closes it rather than spreading , under duress .
