Spitfire axel conversion

[EISANDIEGO@aol.com]

       I recall that there was a discussion about the issue of replacement of 
Spitfire axles some years ago amongst FOTers. I seem to recall that someone 
had the name of specific supplier of these replacement axles. I also recall 
that there was older axle suppliers dating back decades (1970s) that are no 
longer in business. 

       If someone has the time, searching the past Digest of FOT dialogs will 
probably provide the information that you are seeking.
