    WTT: Shelby rear axle for hollow tube rear axle...

    I have a spare Daytona Shelby solid torsion bar, wide track rear axle that I want to trade for a decent (IE, not bent, mangled, or rotten) hollow tube narrow rear axle. Mine is a 'small' bushing rear end from a '90 Daytona. Obviously, needs to be in or at least near SE Michigan. Not interested in shipping this thing...

    Let me know if you got something...

    Re: WTT: Shelby rear axle for hollow tube rear axle...

    I just checked... my 'spare' is actually an oval bushing, '91+ rear axle; Wide track, 1-1/8" solid rear tosrion bar. Anyone trade me for a narrow, hollow bar, round bush, rear axle?

    Anyone have a hollow-tube rear axle at all in the Michigan Lower Peninsula?

    I'd love to trade you... but I'm too far away. When the tube broke (again) for me, I swapped in one from a Lancer ES. Narrow hollow tube, as it was all I could find at the wrecker. I had a wide hollow tube before, and I've been thinking those rear wheels look too far inset ever since.

    Re: WTT: Shelby rear axle for hollow tube rear axle...

    Because of the weight savings for drags?

    Yep. My new class has a min weight about 400lbs lower than where I'm at now. I know I'll never (legally) get down there, but every pound helps...

    Why not just cut the bar out.

    If that's what it comes down to, I will. But, I also have this late-model solid bar rear end that I need to get rid of...

    Rob, if you want to sell it outright, we would be interested in buying it for our stock car project. I am in the upper peninsual, but I work with a guy that comes down that way frequently and would pick it up for us. I could pay you for it right away and just pick it next time he comes that way. Let me know.
