Not so long ago I had 2 complete and 1 dissasembled long nose banjo axles in the shed.
I've also got one in a car (a noisy one).
I roughly assembled the dissasembled one and sold it with a 31 SWB chassis V5 and all the important bits to make a rolling chassis.
The other two are still here. Having 3 SWB cars here I'm keeping them as spares. Sooner or later im going to kill a rear axle. I've checked one of the spares and it looks ace, the other bugger wont turn.
But in the last 3 months I could have sold them 5 or 6 times over. They are certainly sought after. And I am unlikely to be able to replace them if I 'needed' one.
I've also got a nippy axle here, it seems to have been taken off the car when the owner fitted 15inch wheel and tyres. It will have been hellish low geared with this ratio and diddy wheels. So its not always true the axle is off a car ' cos its buggered. It might be a good ratio for the RP however. That also has a noisy axle!
