Thanks for doing this, Niels.
Is changing the diameter of these axles from 8 to 7.5 really worth it? They
still won't fit in most axleholes, because LDraw's axles don't fit the actual
geometry of technic axleholes. However, I am *not* suggesting that we change
the axlehole primitives or parts. I suspect that would result in the details
being harder to make out on those small technic bits.
If someone wants to compile a list of the files that need to be modified for
this new radius, I'm ok with this change.
