Hi Ian,
1 1/2" is about the difference between my original type 65 axle and a Box saloon one I had bent by one of our specialists about 15 years ago.
I could not get the radius arms to fit properly and the wheels fouled the inner wheel arches so I had to build up the lock stops.
I also had to cut the threads on the track rod to fit the shortened axle and it ended up looking like the one pictured.
That axle has now been cut in two and a section from a scrap axle welded in the bring the track back to match the original axle.
My original axle had been sleeved at the eyes and had vertical splits due to being weakened.
Cheers Dickie
