Thanks, yes I have spoken to Graeme.
The tube size of the main axle is only 1 1/8" and the cut off tube are 1" and lower cut off tubes are 1/2". So it is lite.

It's funny so many people have mentioned that front brakes didn't come out till late teens, but you research tricars or forecars there are about 4 brands that had front band brakes in 1904/5ish.
The other interesting part is that what appears to be chassis/frame rails which have been cut, are mounted directly to the axle and then the body or seat is sprung. It's an odd one.

The thread pitch on the hub cap and king pin is M1.25, or 20tpi by my basic thread gauge.
the hubs and hub caps where nickel not chrome as discovered after removing a hub cap.
You turn the top to expose the hole, Rotterham Coventry is the brand on the oiler.
The axle is not Austin seven, I have one of those and the mystery axle is slightly narrower then a A7
Does anyone have a REX or Rexette forecar, as the hub caps look the same as Rex

Hello from Australia
G'day,
I have a front axle off some vehicle that myself and others are stumped on what its off. If you know anyone or have any ideas on what it could possibly be off it would be great to know as well as any other information.
It apears to have front brakes (band brake) which are 7 inch in diameter and 1 inch wide which are threaded onto a 40 spoke dual ball bearing hub.
That basic dimension of the assembly are 40 inches from hub center to center.
What is interesting is that the main axle has, what seams to be a tube chassis that attached directly to the axle.
Another interesting area is where the spring or frame area may have attached to the axle, the spring or frame would be now wider then 1-1/2", I am thinking more that a woooden beam/frame was mounted to this area as it has many small little grippers in this area.
what appears to be a chassis connection are two main tubes in 1" diameter and two smaller 1/2" tubes on a approximately 10-15 degree angle from the main 1" tube, all these have been just cut off from the cut angles. (Galvanised rod in pictures is to show where the 1/2" rod was and angle)
i am thinking some thing like a tri car, cyclecar or quadcar. REX, Rexette, Phoenix, Riley, Lagonda.
i would like to try and make it back into what ever it is.
any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Simon
