Hello all

I have an old Honda ATC200 trike with a snapped rear axle, just wondering if anyone knows of someone that could fabricate me one?

On back order from Honda

Cheers

At a guess, it may be difficult to get someone to take a risk like that.
If it were to fail and injure some kuhnt then ambulance chasers would chase.
There might be a specialist with the material and spec. but as a 'one-off' it might be much more than the Mass Production effort of Honda (Who we know are not cheap anyway.)

Edit: Even if you promise/X Your heart that it will only be used in the field.

Ambulance chasers have 4x4 now-a-days.

As a one off it would cost an absolute fortune - setting up for machining the splines for the two hubs and the drive flange would be an immense amount of work . Ok if you are running off a hundred , but as a one off forget it. ( I know this as I did some of the development work for a Welsh set up called NDuro , who made axles for Yamahas)

Csmnl have three in stock at £533 OK I was looking at an 82 , not 1985 which is not in stock.

Or scour Ebay worldwide for one second hand.

Was it bent, or worn splines?
UPDATE

Hey NDuro are still going , or at least reborn ( moved from Cardigan to Swansea)- They seem to do Honda axles check it out

Rang NDuro and they haven’t got one either, there are some available in America however the shipping cost is 4-5 times higher than the cost of the axle.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a USA-UK shipping company?

Thanks

Cheapest (one of the cheapest) methods of shipping is by Consolidating. Where lots of stuff is collected and sent in one big shipment.
The Snag is that the stuff won't move until all the seats are sold.
Shipping time is normal but consolidating the load
could take months.

Look for consolidated shipping/shippers/freight.

e.g.

Chuck it back in the lake Very Happy

Seriously though, I can't tell the make-up from the pic. Is it just a solid axle with splines cut into it or a tubular effort or what?
