Randy-curious about the paint stand; what's the diameter of the pins that enter the axle holes?I use either a 43, 44 or 66 bit depending on the axle. Also if the axle holes are canted is there a risk of distorting the canal by the way the holding pins are angled?

Good questions. The wire is sized to fit standard BSA slots, or axle holes drilled with a #44 bit (it would work with #43 as well).

If you use canted holes, you might want to put a slight bend on the wires to better align with the holes. The wire is stiff, but bendable so that you can match the wheelbase of your car, and the angle of the hole.
