I’m picking it’s a long shank shouldered bolt like a Tainan Tiger version that holds the wheel but has a shank that passes all the way into the slot behind to limit travel .
I’m guessing that small grub screw would need to be drilled & tapped into the arm to retain the axle

I was thinking along those lines also.

I have a spare set of the suspension fixings. The best I can come up with at the moment is trimming the suspension arm so they fit and use them with some brass tube bushes in the wheel

Welcome back to what is becoming my nightmare this is how it looks so far. The hatches are done, most of them open. The drive sprockets are almost done the gearboxes are aligned for fit just need securing suspension is secured but swing arms need a little trim at the ends to get what I’m useing to secure the wheels.

Injuries on this parts. Drilled into my finger. So getting better compared to the last injury

I always hate drilling into my own fingers or stabbing myself with a steel pin. :) It's coming along though.
