Having got hold of a complete set of rear suspension that i have now cleaned and re-painted i was about to change everything over when i noticed that one of the axle collars was shorter than the other,, By axle collar i mean the part that butts up to the bearing in the hub. I can only assume that it has worn down because the axle was spinning in the bearing. There is a mark on the shaft where it used to extend to and it is a full 10mm shorter than it should be.

I am now up the proverbial without a paddle. Does anyone have a large type stub axle i can purchase to save my rebuild.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for that guys,,, I have just remembered that i have a spare one after all but the reason i wasn't going to use it was that it has two holes drilled through it for the pins to go through the nut on the threaded part,,this of course makes it quite weak i believe.

Is it possible to fill the holes somehow and re-thread it?

Still up for buying one though if anyone has one spare.
