Here's the front axle I just painted quickly with some cheap silver rattle can paint. It's called "aluminium". I didn't bother applying primer. I just quickly rubbed it down with medium steel wool and wiped with metho.

I took it off a spare chassis as it's in good condition.
The original is rusty all over and has a loose wobbly axle stub.

PS: just ordered a set of brand new axle bushes -this is becoming a restoration.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
