Are new axle stubs readily available?


Hugh,

There is a gentleman named Mark Weathers who is producing racing spec front
stub axles.  He sells them as a kit, comprising two axles, hardened washers,
grade 8 nuts, and spacers that are fitted between the front bearings.  These
spacers serve to prevent the brake pad "knock-back" that is common to
fast-driven TRs.  The materials and design are first-rate and far superior
to the stock parts.  The only down-side is the cost, which for his first run
of kits was $280.  Mark's email is mark@excalpm.com


Hope this helps,
