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 email at: michael.oritt@gmail.com or call at: 305-793-9467.
 
Mike:

I have a suitable axle I can cut the ends off of. I'll send you a PM too.
 
Item found--thanks all.
 
Are you using double-bearing hubs? The wobble in a single bearing hub can cause the threads on the end of the housing to fail (ask me how I know, having lost a wheel under braking into turn 5 at Road America some years ago when racing on single bearing hubs).
