[VAC] Re: Leaf Spring type Axle



David,
 If the inner bearing races haven't spun on the spindles, I see no
reason why the axle won't last forever. Springs do take a set and
shackles wear out, but any decent spring place can take care of that.

Brakes may be a different ball of wax, but might not be any problem at
all. If they ARE obsolete, you may be able to replace the backing plates
and drums with more-available parts.

                                              <<Jim>>
