It seems silly not to have a go as I have nothing to lose, and all the detail of concentricity must link slightly to getting the spring pin holes lining up! BUT with the bend so close to the end, how would one create the jig to put a bottle jack in? I've got the lorry straps and short scaffold poles... and can make some holders for the axle tube.
Sadly we can't see the cause of the damage. The hubs were separated and I think someone had had a go at mildly assembling in 1970s... hence the blue paint. Over earlier cream!
