    Surely there has been enough publicity about these axles.
    I'm surprised there are any left out there...they've been talked about at various meets I've attended, they've been mentioned on several forums, and in many magazines.

    We're fortunate in that we're not running any, or anything remotely like them.
    But if we had been...we certainly wouldn't be doing so now!

    Regarding the run itself; we're not taking part.
    This is the first weekend for ages we've had off...I'm gonna sit and blob!

    There hasn't really been an issue with the Superbell axles,Johnboy,,just the Magnums,so I dont know exactly why it broke..When you consider all the guys in this country who used to heat the old original I beams,and drop them,etc,,and had no probs,( that we know of),and all this is happening with the aftermarket units..Think I will use the 47 I beam I have,and just modify cross member,and reverse eye spring when I get to that particular car..
