Does Anyone Know How Long Intermountain Plastic Wheel Axles Are?

I'm going to convert some Intermountain trucks with plastic wheels to Fox Valley Models metal wheels. I need to know which axle length to get. I have no way of accurately measuring them myself.

Thanks for any help.


Hmm... such trivial
concerns Kiz has...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

According to some sources I have found, the Intermountain wheel axle length should be 0.553.   These should be the same as the current Atlas wheels.  Hopefully someone else will chime in and verify this for you.  I have the FVM 0.553 metal wheelsets but I don't have any Intermountain trucks for comparison.
