A frame axles

Still hard at work, whats new? The jigs to make the replica A frame axles are now done and we are cutting. welding and fabricating what seems like 24/7!
All parts are laser cut so everything matches to the thousanth of an inch.
A number of customers have asked if we can fit the works type tube, which if I was asked does seem a sensible thing to do.
Sssssooooo we are now doing a batch of possibly 10-12 works tube axle cases dependant on demand? 6 are already ordered and it wont take more than a phone call to raise the tube order a few more.
E mail me or mobile if YOU need one.
Last few A frames available, was going to do another batch but too busy on other projects . .. . . .get them while you can
Bush and bolt kits still available and only a few poly bush kits left
PS Made a small jig to test doner axles for straightness the other day and have found few axles totally straight! All seem to be "a bit" out. 2-3 m.m. IS the norm'! We even out of curiosity tested all (and don't think we have dozens) our new axle cases for straightness and even they we a bit out.

hi steve thanks for ur reply already had some parts of colin
waiting for him to get back to me.
 
The L.C.R. have a drawing for the A frame axle, with "works" strengthening tube. Any half decent fabricator could build one using that. I converted a deluxe axle myself. Be aware that if you use an axle from anything other than a gt, the handbrake reaction strap bracket will be wrong and need a mod.
