I called Summers Bros on the way home just to have a chat. Here's a cool tidbit - when I told him I had a Shelby Cobra (and then corrected him that it was a cobra roadster, not a mustang), he told me that they made the stub axles for the original cobras when Shelby was based in Gardenia.

They can make just about anything you want and told me to send him the pieces and he'd make me a 31 spline billet chromoly 4340 steel axle stub. They can do 35 spline and 40 spline too, but that seems like overkill and not sure if it'd fit.

Anyway, I also have a call into Bob P. and will probably have the local guys that rebuilt David's diff check mine out and do the assembly. The benefit to Bob's guys is they will know exactly what they are dealing with since they've done a bunch of cobras.
