Midget Axles

I acquired several axles, and have been told they are for a midget. Can someone tell me what chassis they were built for from this photo?

Thanks!

Compare to the photos in the Speedway catalog. Axles are fairly generic in the dirt midget world.

Front axles are definitly not generic! Especially for midgets, they are all different. There is a lot more to a front axle than most realize, I would reccomend contacting your chassis manufacturer and find out what the requirements for your specific chassis are. Speed is in the details, so make sure you have the right stuff. If the axles pictured do not fit your chassis it is not a problem to modify them. Might need to change the position of the axle flags or change PH rod location, or even the camber/caster split.

Actually I'm looking to sell them, which I thought would be easier if I knew who manufactured them, and what chassis they fit. The fourth axle, not pictured, has Sander spindles and hubs on it. Any additional, specific information about these axles, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.

They look small for midgets, what is the king pin size?

Here are the measurements of the axles:
Axle Diameter 1 3/4"
King pin diameter 13/16"
King pin center to king pin center 44"
King pin center to right shock mount 6"
King Pin center to right radius rod bracket 9"
King Pin center to left shock mount 8"
King Pin center to panhard mount 11"
