John, If you absolutely cannot find a rear axle for your Marcos, I will be swapping mine out for a different unit in the very near future. Mine is from an early steel-chassied car (#5514) and may be what you are looking for. - Donny Lang

> Hi John, The thing is you can have toe-in on a live axle, I had it
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,
