If someone were to suggest that only solid axles are permissible, then ask them about "Duratorque" suspensions which only have stub axles or the axles on semi-trailers which are welded square section.

Yes, I can't find anything written either. My present plan is to cut a few inches off each end of an axle housing and turn them down to fit a suitable piece of steam pipe - automatically taking care of the problem of making sure the flange is on straight and fits the stub axle.
