All,

Hoping this mailing list still works, but at last weekends Rallycross, I broke a ball joint which led to the left front axle getting bent. The transmission is from an unknown source but is most likely a JDM item. I am trying to find a replacement axle, or at least the shaft as I can reuse the end. Does anyone have any knowledge as to what axle I can order to disassemble to get a proper length shaft? Or does anyone have said axle shaft lying around? Thanks in advance.

Bob. Of course this list still works!  

As you know, Dylan has all the parts. Will a US OEM axle (length) work?  Should the length be different than OEM for your application, can’t your contacts at Detroit axle create a new one for you?  



Thank you, Steve.

I second Detroit Axle. They have been pretty good for this in the past.

A RockAuto axle didn't work so does anyone have a left front axle for sale? I know Gavin has a bunch but he is in California and the axles are in a storage unit in Ohio! 

Or - is anyone interested in a parts car? RRE built BPT with T3/T4 turbo, Tial wastegate, Autronic ECU, MSD ignition, AEM BOV, custom FMIC, BG transmission, plate type LS rear diff, 3 or 4 sets of wheels and tires, Sparco seat, fiberglass hood and hatch and as little else as I could get away with! It might be time to move on.

Bob,

Does parts car = Midwest cancer with awesome hardware bolted to it, or is this you being humble and modest about a parts car being a pretty decent find in the midwest?

And it does not need my endorsement as Bob is a legend, but had successful and honest transactions with Bob over the years.

Thanks!
Mark

= Midwest car with awesome parts bolted to it. I forgot it has a Hotbits suspension.

Thanks for the endorsement, Mark.

Bob,

Do you have a link to your parts car for sale, or is it listed anywhere yet?
