Don't forget to get the bottom plates as well... they have the holes wider apart to suit the larger tube that the wide axle has... unless you are planning a u-bolt flip...

Oh, and the handbrake cable... you need that too as its wider... unless you're disc-brake converting it.

Not the U-bolts - the plates they bolt to... or have you bought round u-bolts for a flip?

I might actually have a spare here to be honest... I have one housing but I'm one stub-axle short... I was thinking about that the other day, and I suspect from memory that Mike-of-the-bouncing-bewbers may have it at his place... so in a stretch I could possibly have a setup for you... PM Mike and ask him about Steves stub axle... could be worth a go...

Yeah i brought new U Bolts for the flip. Getting plates sorted now. Which mike? There are so many it seems. I don't really know who is who. I'm keen though, my axle is just to skinny. How much where you thinking? :oops:

I can contact Mike when I find out which one lol.
Thanks heaps Steve.

The mike called "mike" - site admin and owner Mike... just send a PM to 'mike'

$150 for the complete axle is about the going rate - rest assured the money will go to a good cause... I'll buy steel and post pics of me bending, cutting and welding it for you all

Sounds good to me. I have PM'd 'Mike' so hopefully he has the goods.
If so is it ok to grab it this week some time?? Ill grab the other parts of Mike if all goes to plan?
Cheers Daniel
