I have started making my own axle housings(Rockwell 4640) for this but I am unsure at this point if i will use them. Once I decide what I am doing with that I will either cross drill the hubs for a set screw and a blind axle hole or machine a hex into the back for the stock axles, drilling right through and using a cap on the hub.






Thanks for looking!
Look great Reg . Yes , the CNC is necessary for wheel production otherwise you go crazy
