Hi all,

I am trying to get a set of good quality sway-away IRS axles for my type III. The only issue is none of the suppliers I am talking to, know the length of these axles.

I am interested to know the standard lenth of a manual type III IRS axle. I am also interested to know the length of the smaller automatic type III IRS axle. (Uneven lengths.)

Does anyone know these lengths?

Regards,

James C.

If you call Rod Penrose he would have a set lying around that he could measure but more than likely he could have a set for you or get you a set at a good price. Give him a call and ask.

The manual type 3 axles are the same as the IRS beetles and are 415mm (16-5/16") flange to flange. The short auto axle is 390mm (15 3/8").
