Stock replacements?

1965-66 mustang width housings never came with 31 spline axles. Back before I got smart and ordered some Moser axles, I used a set that were made from stockers. One was cut down and re-splined, and the other had to have the big end changed around somehow. The big end of one of the axles broke off at the starting line, and the entire wheel fell off. Luckily, the car had a spool at the time, so it spun around sideways (running over the photo-cells at the starting line) and didn't land on the tire and ruin the quarter panel.

Ford never made 31 spline axles that length. Exactly what axles are you running, and where did you get them? Are they not made by Moser, Strange, etc?

Thanks
