[NoVa-Corvairs] need a new axle shaft and flange with bearing

[Charles Nelson]

You are correct that I have the common wear of the splines on the flange wear joint attaches. . There was no bolt or washer when we removed it. Not sure if it was lost or never replaced when the previous owner worked on it. 
Thanks for the advice.

If the "new" flange fits just slightly loose, cut an aluminum can and use it to shim the "new" flange. The bolt that holds the flange onto the axle is grade 8, and the washer is special (very thick). Make sure not to loose the washer, hardware store washer will not fit.

>> John Erickson came by today and discovered that the passenger side axle shaft and flange are broken on my '62 Monza.  Good news is the transmission/clutch appear to be fine. Anybody have a lead on a new axle shaft and flange with a bearing if possible.   I need it for the passenger side if that matters.Thanks
