Re: (ET) E12 Front Axle Torched.

[David C Robie <mycroftxx1 juno com>]

Square steel tubing is a 'stock shape' at any steeyard and not expensive.
 All you got to do is copy the old one, burn the workiing parts off thev
old axle and weld em on the new tube.  It is also possible to get the
next largest size tube that telescopes over the old axle ends,  and
splice it at the burn.
