on the Ginetta I raced years ago, it is slight but there, that is 
the reason I asked you guys as I have never owned a Marcos. It's now 
a dead issue as I have tossed said axle and I am looking for a 
replacement. Incidently, the other Marcos (1970 steel chassis) has a 
much beefier axle, I believe the wooden Marcos is an early Cortina, 
what is the other axle from?
  Best Regards,
      John..
