A quick question, on Alko axles of the rubber type (indespension type) beam axles, does the bar go all the way along the axle, along with the rubber?
After carefull examination I cannot find anywhere where they have been welded in the centre of the beam, so can only assume they are made by shoving the inner bar and rubber inside the outer tube then welding the drop arm and stub axle on the end to complete the assembly.
Just wondering if anyone has attacked one with any form of metal cutting gear before, as I dont want to make a critical and costly, mistake.
Any help would be gratefully recieved wont be anywhere near them tomorrow, but I could get photos for Friday if this will help.
Thanks
