    SWB replacement axles

    Bought these SWB axles last week. I'm not sure what to make of them. Anyone tried these? They are 406 mm. Aren't OEM like 416 mm?
    These are 33 spline not 25.
    Middle of axle is 32.5 mm
    Step down is 21.5 mm
    Through the boot 20 mm.

    I'm trying to decide if I should send them back.

    If you want new , there is no other choice . I've turned the axles on a lath so cosmetically they look correct .

    Does anybody have any contacts who race in or prepare cars for the Peter Auto 2.0 series in Europe?? Lots of SWB cars prepared to a high level and it seems there must be a race quality solution for the axles.

    Anyone?

    Richy,
    How many miles on your axles? Any issues?
