MaxiCar rear axel

I've just snapped the axel on a 32 year old MaxiCar rear hub. Does anyone have an axel, a hub with a good axel or know anyone who has any of these parts? I'm emotionally attached to this hub. After 130k miles the body and bearings are as good as new.

Try shooting an email to Velo-Orange, they don't list a maxicar but may know a place to source parts.

Try yellowjersey.org, too. Don't bother with their website except to get their phone number. Bon Chance!

Thanks for the info. I've got a new axel for a 32 year old hub and I'm back on the road. I grew up in Sioux City, graduated from Central in 1969.
