It needs to have a 3/8"axle hole for it to be a plug-n-play.  If not, you're going to need to mod that hole one way or the other.

A 1/2"od-3/8"id spacer should be easy to come by/make.

What does that look like if I was to try to find it at a local store?

Yeah, like a bushing or ferrule?
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Something like this:



Check ebay or amazon. The word "Oilite" comes up often. Basically it's a sintered bronze reducer.

It would look like a short cylinder, or if it's flanged it would look like a small top hat with a hole in the middle. There's usually a bushing section that has them in brass and nylon. Or you can trim a small tube to fit.

I have done exactly what gumms suggested, with red wheels that look like what Winz posted.

I'm having a hard time picturing what all those parts look like. If any of you have any pictures of how it all comes together, please share. Thanks.
