Took my mini for a ride in the mountains today and the drive side chain tensioner failed allowing the rear axle to slide forward in such a manner the threads are FUBAR and cannot be repaired
The rear axle is 15 mm in diameter and 343 mm long ( 13.50") Both ends are threaded for what appears to be 9/16"x20 NF. About two inches on each end is threaded,
I cannot find any bar stock this size unless it is stainless steel. I'm not sure my 9/16x20 die will thread stainless steel?
Anyone here know where I may be able to get a replacement rear axle? The length is a problem as most are much too short for sale.
Here is the rear axle. 15mm in diameter and 343mm long with damaged chain tensioner.
This is what the chain tensioner should look like.
Here is the mangled one. It does not look very strong. I had to wire the axle in place to make it back to the trailer.
