tom. sorry for the lapse in reply time... and thanks, e-CHUCKIE, for picking up the ball and running with it. the teledyne axle i have is not hollow and the races look like they're pressed on. the axle 'looks' hollow, but there's a 1" section in the center that appears to be solid. why make them? e-C is right-teledyne was in the ti fab business.so... please bookmark the auction and bid high and often for this bad boy. e-RICHIE chester, ct
