front axel
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:59:03 am »
I'm going to build my own front axel, what I need to know is what do you use for the barrels on the spindles ?
PS Tractor supply is only 5mi away.

Thank you both for your reply  but that's not building your own that's buying your own. I just need to know what to use for a barrel to weld the grade 8 bolt to.

I used 1 1/4" hexagon stock, then used 5/8" heim joints tightened up to the stock for bearings, the hex gives a nice place to weld the bolt to. By the way, I have the spindle jig and axle jig that I may no longer use if anyone is intrested in it? great scrub angle, works with 8" wide front rims, the Zero Tolerance used them for many wins?
