I haven't, but it looks like a good idea at first glance

Agreed they do look a good idea, why not contact the seller as they seem to do a fair selection of Moggie Bits.

It's by no means a new idea - similar system has been in use for industrial repairs for many years. If this leakage is a serious problem for owners - then yes - this should sort it!

Yep - one of several systems avaialble. As long as the worn shaft is still concentric it will work fine.

Dunno mate - but it's a common enough repair in Industry. Would need to search.

Not to worry, I'll try one of the Barnwell jobbies. I like the idea of being able to fix the axle in situ as well.

i have a leaky oil seal on rear n/s, when you strip down and you take oil seal off, is this pitting or damage to the axle if it is causing the leak, is it something you can see or check with a straight edge, can someone talk me through this job? thanks.
