Rear Axle Part II


The corrosion from the bump stops has been cleaned up and filled with JB Weld metal filled two part epoxy that hardens to over 5000 psi.

The next issue is the droop strap hanger, the end is broken off and there are only three threads left. We can fix that.
One and a quarter inch steel stock, an hour on the lathe, and viola, a new hanger.

Some new 3/8 by 24 threads and it's done. Well, it needs to be welded on, that will happen when the axle comes back from the shop where it is getting media blasted.
