Unfortunately the designs are on sketchup :( as I can no longer access Solidworks. The axle is 250 x 24 x 24 mm, and the hanger is 100 x 40 x 14 mm. These dimensions can be changed a bit to reduce work/cost. I'm guessing it's best to make them out of aluminium, not sure if a very high grade is required as they're pretty beefy. Basically I have no idea what I need to do, but I know what I want to end up with. If you think you can make them, great, if not, could you tell me why?

    Now for some pretty pictures to give you an idea, comes in two parts, the axle and hanger. As you can see they are bolted together, the axle is also threaded to accommodate an axle bolt. I'll be much more specific if it can be done. A rough cost per unit would be handy to know too.

    Hi There and welcome to the forum, I am not able to make these because im not clever enough but if i can i would like to ask a few questions.

    Firstly i assume the The axle stubs for the wheels would be made from steel..?

    If that is the case would they need to be removable or fixed..?

    This type of thing is usually cast then machined, is that what you are looking for, or just machined billet..?

    Do you have any pictures of other commercially available ones..?

    I only ask because a clear understanding of what is required will maximise your chances of getting someone to help you out with your project

    By axle stubs do you mean the bolts in the first picture? They're just steel M12 bolts that thread into the axle so they are removable. I am assuming billet will be a lot better for very low quantities. Depending on price I would make 2 sets, so four of each part, and if they're good I'll make 10ish.

    They're kind of like these (you can see that it's two parts welded together).
