I really wish I could come help. ya'll hear of an IT job over that way and I swear I'll move. All them pics ya'll post on FB anyway... I'd be broke after them travels.

 

[jrob]

Well the axle is at the machine shop. I feel pretty good about it. Measured out to 42mm x 1.5. I have ordered a nut to make sure sure it is correct, then he will begin working on it.

 

[jrob]

Talked to the machine shop today and they will be able to get the axle ready sometime Thursday. I wish I had a picture to compare the before and after, but I forgot to take one. The 42mm nut will be in tomorrow.
