[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.
