21-11/16 swing axles?

[jacobnhra]

Quick question, is the -5 swing axle not being used anymore? Looks like they are discontinued. Sorry if I'm behind the times I'm still a little new to the racing world.

Type 2 stuff has surpassed a lot of the Type 1 stuff, so no, 5 inch axles aren't too common anymore. Check with Lummis, and Erco if you're still looking.

I'd check with Folts state side as well....then go Finnish with Kuplapaja Oy if you can't find it state side. The Finnish stuff is awesome quality, but you'll have a long wait and high shipping to get it here.

Folts is doing replacable faceplate shipping for 3-4, but it's permanent on 1-2 until you cut off and reweld. The Finnish clutchless seems to be permanent on all gears.

If you can afford the Kuplapaja axkes, then the $50 for shipping wont be anything. I found a set of -5 axles last year o FB, on a drag race buy and sell page.

Guys,

Thank you for your input, you confirmed my suspicion. These drag bugs are not common in my neck of the woods so I’m a little naive to the norm. I think I’m going to reconfigure to the 23-11/16 axles since I’ve invested this far into type 1 parts and start gathering type 2 stuff for a later upgrade. Again thanks for the help.
