    Post a picture of the axle. I have installed several MorDrop axles, that I got from Marty, just before his p***ing.

    The sparks from a forging will be bright. From a casting, they will be dim, and cherry red.

    An axel is a figure skating move.

    Like Gimpy said, post a picture; pretty easy to tell; especially since it is has 2" perches.
