FishGUY Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Crystal welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad B Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 one thing that crystal welding won't do is welding new spindles on axles. I asked them since I am looking for a welding shop to put a new spindle on my boat trailer axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flooringuy Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 IMO You're going to have a hard time finding someone to weld on a spindle for ya. The liability is just to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad B Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have found one replacement axle that has the same spring center measurement as mine but the hub face to hub face measurement is about 1.75 inches narrower then mine. I think it would work but it would place the tires closer to the boat and I might have to remove the fenders. the other pricey option is just to buy a whole new trailer. I know it is a liability issues. I was told that if you don't get it just right it will causes you to chew up tires and bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad B Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm Happy to post that I have found a place that will build me a complete new axle for my trailer for only $160.00 this includes new hubs. they are redneck trailer supply out of st cloud.
