[VAC] Re: Buying Axles
That is correct. I'd hoped that Tuna would chime in. If you spec out
a Dura-torque axle to Henschen, they are only about $350-$400. Tuna
had his delivered with rims and shocks & brakes for less than $500.
When you consider that a brake conversion, new shocks and and wheels
are going to be about $500 anyway - that's not a bad deal.
You are not going to be able to order "an axle for a '69 Globetrotter"
from Henschen. If that's all you have to go by, then you must pay
Inland for their knowledge of what the axle specs are, but if you can
use a resource catalog and measuring tape and some mechanical know-how,
then you can still get an axle direct.
