    I've ordered a 2" OD straight axle for my 55. It will need spring perchs added. Where can I get some with the correct 2" radius and a hole for a 1/2" tie bolt? The ones at trailer places are for 1-3/4" or 2-1/4" OD axles and have 11/16" tie bolt holes. I've seen the speedway ones but prefer the u-bolt wrapping around the axle. A spring plate for a 2" axle and 1 3/4" wide leaf spring with a shock mount would be nice too. 2" u-bolts are not common either.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Make them with 2x4 rectanguler tube a 2 inch hole saw and a 4 1/2 inch
    angle grinder with a cut off wheel. If you dont have the tools a metal
    fab or weld shop could do it with 3/16 wall tube or 1/4 inch if available.
