If you get a britpart item I'm sure that's true, but if you get one from Richards chassis or a similar specialist the galv will be good, I go galv every time when replacing parts like this

I get everything galvanised if I can, and have had many of the other parts fitted galvanised myself. The turrets are the only parts so far that have been disappointing.

I had already worked out it would need to be flush. Usually for things like this I would weld some washers each side but that will not wok for a shock! I will get around to it at some point, will have to measure the steel thickness and rummage around the scrap pile.

Being as I only did the job a few weeks I should be able to remember the steel thickness and the size of the hole required, but I dont

.
I used a cut down blade in a jigsaw to cut the metal out of the axle which worked quite well, I do remember that

At least you can remember you did the job. Always focus on the positives!

Didn't think too much about that actually. I'll do a repair similar to yours.
