DARRIN / HENRY J REAR AXLES NEEDED!!!
« on: December 04, 2008, 02:42:58 PM »
It's me again! I still need a pair of rear axles for my Darrin! I thought I found a pair or two, but it's been weeks since I've heard from the vendors. No return phone calls, no emails, no parts! So, if anyone has a pair of new or used axles, please contact me, after all, spring is only four months away! Thanks in advance.

Fid - Tex in Oklahoma was actually quite informative! He didn't have anything at the time though. He suggested using a complete rear end from an S-10, which he says have identical dimensions and bolt right in, but have a different bolt pattern. I have Kelsey Hayes wires on the car and other KH wires that would fit the S-10, but, I would rather just replace the stock axles. I have talked to people in eleven states looking for these things, it's amazing that there aren't any anywhere! On Friday, Nov. 14, I was told by a well known vendor in California that he was going to ship a pair to me that afternoon. That's 3 weeks ago, and I haven't been able to contact him since, and have not seen the parts. I have shipped complete cars to Europe in less time! I guess I'll just keep looking, after all, they say the fun is in the search!

Thanks for the help, Gary.
