20 thousandth of an inch is 0.020 which is smaller than the standard overbore of 30 thousandths or 0.030. 1/8th inch is 0.125 which is over 6 times more than 20 thousandths. You're a long way off with the new axels. I'm going to agree with, Donny. I think your axels are wrong. I don't know the differences between what you started with and the tapered bearings as I have only dealt with the tapered bearings. To me, it make no sense that the distance from the outer edge of the flange to the inner edge of the bearing would be different between the two axels. The inner portion of the bearings set against the inside of the housing ends regardless of tapered or not. Clearly, I could be wrong since I'm not familiar with the regular housing ends and bearings.
