Has anyone tried using an automotive axle as an upgrade? Say having a d60 shaft turned down to 1 1/4" and cut to the correct length, then drilled for your sprocket? I know this may not be cost effective for some but what if you have access to a lathe or have a friend that can do it cheap or free? I would think this would be a huge improvement over the older hollow axles. Scrounging junkyards or Craig's list I'm sure there are plenty of semi floating d60 rear ends with bad ring gear or pinion or other damage in the diff that you could score 6 axleshafts for a little of nothing, ford vans especially, I know alot of those had SF d60 rear and there are alot of them in the local pick a part yards. Or would it be a aste? Seems to me it would be cheaper than buying 6 upgraded axles and all the hardware maybe not, anybody else have thoughts on this or have considered this? I'm pretty tight so I'm always trying to find a cheaper way and I like doing as much as I can myself. If I can build it just as good or better for cheaper, why not?
