Is it for a car transporter ?

Build your own.

I can take pics of a setup that is extremely easy to build and involves nothing more complicated than Escort FWD rear hubs and some 4x2 box section. Very low level on the load bed as well.

Unfortunatley the chassis is post 1980 so it must have auto-reverse brakes. Does your home-made axles have auto-reverse?

Lads

Will do. This setup was built my friend of 72 years young. Gizmo knows exactly who I'm talking about - as does colibiriman etc....

Photos very soon (tomorrow), but it's basically a balance beam setup with all four wheels compensating for one another and there being no springing medium as such.
you will need some very basic brass bushes turned up for the main swivel on either sides, but apart from that it's all very simple.

Will get back to you all very very soon.

forgot to add.

There are no axles as such. It'll all become clear very soon.
