I am after a Reliant Axle from a 1985 + Robin, Rialto, or Kitten to fit to a Goldwing 1500 backend!
I have been ripped off and had real problems trying to get it sorted, so I need some help trying to find a proper axle to try to get it doing more that 50 MPH!!!!!

Iv'e got a B axle that I have shortened & converted to chain drive, all new cylinders, shoes, bearings, adjusters,handbrake lever arms all mini classic stuff, freshly painted, stands me in £200.00 though don't think it will be any good to you as you are shaft drive I assume, but hey worth a shout. Was going to use on my next project but this one is taking longer than I thought.

I hope you saved he crown and pinion gears. They can be retro-fitted to an A axle to increase the gearing.

that's the thing, people go on about the B diff (2.78-1) being the best, if you have got an A axle (3.23-1) just change your wheel and tyre size to suit, simples, there are loads of diff calculators on line
