Here's a link to the original listing for the axle.

Alfred, dare I ask how you got that thing into your basement?!

The axle? I laid it onto the stairs and rolled it end over end to the bottom. On the level I can pick it up and carry it.
I did a bit of machining today.
The rear radius arms will use the same V8 front wishbone bushes so it made sense to use the spare rusty wishbone pivot for it.
I cut off the bolt lugs and put it on the lathe to turn off the rust and bring it to an even 20mm diameter.
I will make brackets with 20mm holes to weld it to and then weld to the chassis.
The other slightly less rusty pivot will be used for the Rear axle A frame over the diff.

Hi guys,
Not been on the forum for a while due to being rather tied up in real life and stuff I'm doing for others.
Anyway, I thought I'd just pop in here and mention another little gift towards my projects.
Today I picked up a couple of 320W 37.5V nominal solar PV panels. Together they will give me enough voltage to set up a solar charger for the 48V lithium pack.
The panels are 1mx2m in size so will go on the house roof. Then I will drop a cable down with a breaker and open voltage to the ground floor where I set up a charging point.
Not sure how to make it work yet but I am guessing that if I open the 240Vac charger I have I may be able to find a point where I can measure a dc voltage output from the transformer and then build a regulator that will supply that straight into the charger circuit. If that works then the charger can be solar connected and still be portable for mains ac connection too.
