Getting rid of your straight axle?

[focusedontheprize]

I didn't know if I would get seen in the "Parts Wanted" section so I posted here. If it is a problem, please feel free to move this.

When I ripped apart the front end, I made the mistake of throwing out the rubber bumpers held down by the U-bolts. I need the plates that go underneath the U-Bolts really (I ordered replacement rubber bumpers already).

If anyone is getting rid of their straight axle to scrap, could you just check to see if you have them before you do? Let me know what costs I need to cover. Appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

Ha thanks Rob.

Just to clarify, you're talking about the wedge shaped shim that gives the axle the needed caster? Or the actual plate the rubber bump stops go into? If the latter I can lay my hands on a set now. If the shims, I'll have to dig around and see where my extra set is.

It is the actual plate the rubber bump stops go onto. The ones that are held down by the U-bolts. Apologies, I cannot find a great picture of them to clarify.

That would be ideal if you had a set.
