Looks nice! On some of my older 2x2 wheel bricks there is a gap which
allows the axle to be removed and/or snapped into the brick.

My advise is: Don’t try this at home! Those tap or clips broke very easily
even when they were new, and I guess time hasn’t made then less fragile...
Then we had to fix them with a 3022 Brick 2x2 or a broken 650 Nylon Coupling

Well, I actually had to do this to modell the gap in the tube.
Fortunately nothing broke. (On the other hand, I have plenty of these bricks,
and I’ll buy even more :-D )

On the newer bricks
the metal axle cannot be removed (looks similar to your ldraw part).
|
That was a very good upgrade from TLG.

I have both versions. I have not changed the taps or clips in this part. I only
created the gap in the tube and used some more primitives here and there. There
is no need in the LDraw world to have both versions modelled, and this version
is the easiest one to be modelled.
