Extended stub axles

"Oh , by the way... (cough) extended rear stub axles (cough)... any progress on making a batch?"

So as not to high jack the other post I started a new one here. The forum was getting pretty boring of late, where are all the old regulars, not to discourage the new guys, all input is welcome.

Hello David,
For the last four months I've been renovating my workshop. I've knocked walls down, rewired, painted and organised the garage. I've pulled two of the cars out ready to start work on them. I'm 65 next week and have retired from one of my business's. So I'm ready to start work on engineering projects. I'm just starting a rear beam project which involves fabricating a whole radius arm! But if you want extended stub axles made it can be done. But I think we will have to get a few sets made for it to be economical. So if anyone else is interested, declare your interest on this thread and I will get some prices based on the quantity needed.

The New workshop.

Thanks, Alan. Looks good, I must fabricate some excuse to visit you again!

Just for the record, I'd like a pair of these stub axles. Who's next? :)

Thanks Alan, much appreciated. Finding the time is the problem at present, though.

Thanks Alan :D :P I've loaded the Midas on the trailer, so that's a camping and workshop holiday sorted ;)

Are we the only ones with fog today

Yes I'd like some stub axles too, as long as the alternatives don't distract me, oh and a fraction shorter (2 mm ish) than the first batch.

That's not a workshop, that's a cleanroom! Looks fantastic Alan.

Indeed it is fantastic Alan, I saw the photos a few days ago and was amazed at the transformation of those dark dingy garages. Midas tinkering heaven.

First of all.....................I AM SO JEALOUS OF THAT OPERATING THEATRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly.....a set of stub axles was on my 'to do' list so if you're prepared to do it for me that will make me a very happy man :)
Let me know how much it will cost and I can transfer the money to your account
