Well, that's sort of what I was thinking, Half, but Brian kinda got me scared off of the idea, at least until I was sure I could get aftermarket axles if I screwed it up. I respect where he's coming from, so I was going to be sure I had a line on the axles and I wouldn't be out anything but some sweat.

As it turns out, the guy who put in the assembly for me works fast - he's already sent out the axles to a machine shop to be drilled. I suggested that on Friday and he wasn't real confident about it, then I checked local machine shops myself and was even less so, but he's got a source I didn't have. It will be $130 for both axles, and it's a bonafide large machine, welding, and fabrication shop. cont'd
