Broken back!!??

Hello all,
thought id share my woes of the weekend,
went out playing in the bush behind eildon and was having a really good day,
went down a loverly steep stretch back down to the water all fun, heading back up though not so fun.. one section was just a little more challening than i thought and i gave it a little to much curry

and snapped an axle

and had to winch myself up, and shamefully with my head held low be towed out by a navara(till the main track)
now i have to source another axle, so who knows where to get rangie bits in melbourne now that rangie automotive has moved on??
will post up some pics later when i download them and figure out how
have fun

I'll give you an axle for a 6 pack of scotch

I'll even drop it off anywhere close to the highway as I travel through from latrobe valley to past Geelong Monday arvo

Rangie automotive moved on? his off beresford road in Lilydale still as far as I know

he moved onto a place in bayswater and no longer wrecks only does service stuff as of xmas last year..
and thanks for the offer but im all the way up in healesville

Didn't know that...more money in service work than anything else anyway

Healesville, the black spur, used to travel that every week, when they were doing roadworks, ***** of a road!

Hey dude,

I am currently wrecking a 89 rangie with 10 spline axles

my old man is up in healsville where I will be taking my stripped parts.

I think you emailed me?

as it turns out 93 rangies are a B!tch, they are the same type of axle as a later 24 spline, as in size and other things but are a 10 spline center, so earlier axles dont bloody fit... so now i have 2 24 spline axles and need to find a center to suit... grrr

And stub axles/hubs too.
10 spline are different from 24 spline
