I’m still looking for a pair of Kubel spindles. I’ve tried wanted adds and FB groups with no luck. Where else can look?

I thought you told me that you knew some engineering types, and that the stub axles should be straightforward enough to make? I've always known this wasn't the case, and that is why they are expensive when they turn up, typically £1,500 a side. If you are able to find a set at HO22, they will be at a premium, and accordingly, they'll be mega expensive.

Have you thought of trying Country Buggy spindles, they may fit. You will end up with a larger spindle diameter though.

May be easier and cheaper to get.

Thanks Martin. I can have the axles spiral welded and machined whatever the damage no problem, but I only have one…. So really I still need another or a good set.
