Bill,
Would the 15mm bearings still sit in a 4mm hole, i.e could you drill out and experiment wit appropriate sizes?

No it sits in a 12mm hole.
hmmm it's just occured to me, what is the minimum axle spacing? putting the axles on the outside of the plates may give some useful extra room:D
raynerd:
The commercial Webster design gives a maximum 3 3/4" swing between axel centres but this is generally bigger overall than this one. I appreciate practically it'll work but aesthetically odd! Also, it may be tricky holding smaller wheels if placed on the outside.

Why not make it so that the pins can go either side of the frames?
Also make spacers with the bearing holes to space out the pins

Yes there is no reason why you could not attach the balls to both side of the plate :)
This one uses 6mm hinge balls in 5mm holes with 70mm bull-dog clip springs
