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

OK, Ford never made a 31 spline axles for early Mustangs. Maybe it was all advertising gibberish or I misunderstood, but Superior listed them as Stock 31 spline replacements on their website. They are thicker than Mustang 28 spline axles and have no taper.
At the time I needed a set of 31 axles
ASAP and purchased the Superiors through Summit since they were in stock. Called Summit on Tuesday, Shipped on Wednesday, Received and pressed bearings/wheel studs onto axle and axle into housing on Thursday, Raced on Friday.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Summit lists them as direct replacements:
