Thanks for the replys guys, I've got my eye on a couple of axles... a sd1 and a 10 bolt which both seem cheap. Just the drum brakes putting me off. Im guessing discs are easy to retro fit if needs be? Im looking into gear boxes too, could you suggest a manual box capable of handling my final power f...

I know they are old and not that efficient but i happen to have two and that saves me buying another type, in the future i could alway swap them out. I have come acros...

Looking at doing a run off girdle plates with the mains caps built in. Wanted to keep the mix similar for expansion/ strength reasons.
