[A/S] Axle for Flying Cloud



Hi All,

I am trying to repair the brakes on my Flying Cloud and have no luck in 
locating parts. I also need new wheels as the present ones are the split 
rim type. So, I thought it might be better to replace the axle with a new 
one and get all the parts to match.

I have looked in the Dexter Axle site but can find no info as to axle 
lengths. If someone out there has replaced their axle maybe you can tell me 
how to order a replacement axle and what model number to use.

I also tried to get new rims for the Cloud by ordering pre-71 GM wheels. 
The GM wheels have a 4" center hole and won't fit. The Cloud has a 3 5/8" 
center hole. Anyone know what vehicle the 3 5/8" might be from?

Thanks,

Bob Patterson
