Axle housing end needed

I need to replace the left end of my Elva Courier's rear axle housing as the threaded tip is worn out. Spridgets use the same axle as does the Courier, just a few inches shorter (narrower track). Does anyone have a Spridget or Morris axle housing they would be willing to sell me? If so it would be easiest to simply sawzall about six inches off the left end of the axle and send that.

Please contact me via PM or via email at: michael.oritt@gmail.com or call at: 305-793-9467.

I am also posting this on the Spridget list.
 
Back in the day, Huffacker engineering produced a heavy duty threaded end for the housing. I used it on my MGB race car. I don't know if they are still doing so.
 
Good luck Michael, I hope you get what you need.

Tim, I still have my Huffaker MGB catalog (silver cover). At the time, I wanted just about everything in it, but I would only purchase their Delrin lower (inner) A-arm bushes every time I bought another MGB__that and replacing the thrust washers in the differentials were the first mods I would do (and almost immediately) after driving/dragging them home. I used to go up to their shop in Petaluma, when I lived in San Francisco; they'd let me hang around and look/take pictures as long as I wanted__unless Joe was around! :wink:
 
Item found--thanks all.
