Hello Folks

A friend is looking for a sports or dropped front axle - a reproduction or modified-from-standard one will do 

I've had a look through the Cherished Supplier's wares and didn't see anything on offer, hence the query

Thank you Steve and Chris,

Yes, I can do this (and king pin eye repairs etc.) for you, see here for contact details: http://www.albaaustins.co.uk/

I stretch and bend the axle - loses about 1/4" on cooling, which has not caused any issues to date.

I actually have a spare one Robert, this is for a mate of mine who is building a special & he has temporarily borrowed my spare one & now he has settled on wanting one, hence my query as my spare has already been allocated to our next build...

I've sent him all Ruairidh's details & email information, so it's up to him now.
