As the subject line suggests I am looking for someone who can supply custom length 33 spline Chrome moly axles at reasonable prices in Australia.
Any one?

Correct

For a wide coil over shock suspension set up using Bus CV's and heavy 3x3 swing arms

Yet to measure but axles probably around 22 -23 inches

Also 22-23 inches would be too long for 3*3.

I am running 3*2 inch arms and only use about 18.5 inch axle clip 2 clip.
This is a rail style buggy, I am not running a torsion tube so my original 19.5 inch axles are to short now with 3X3 arms on what was a combi torsion width frame wheel track will be about 12 inches wider than stock beetle. I will widen the front end to suit.
Will try Edge and see what they say. Thanks

If you can't find what you want, send me a PM, and I will give you contact details of the bloke who can make exactly whatever you need.

Oh, if you are looking for 'cheap', don't bother.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Thanks for the response Rod
I already have some new 19 1/4 crome moly axles and a set of original Bus ones to. i will need something longer but until I set up the swing arms tomorrow I will not be able to measure just how long I reckon they would have to be at least 21- 22 long as I want the extra width in the torsion tube and the extra width of the 3x3 swing arm. I will call you when I have a measurment between drive plate and stub.

I guess the answer is around what they cost in the US as postage is only around $40- $50 now days. Diameter? I am running Bus CV's so there is not much point to going bigger than the spline as all the ones I ever broke were right at the spline it would be the weakest point.

Nothing about building a modified rear end is cheap but my labour. 😊
