I had an axle made up at the local trailer

Thanks, that's good to know although I've been trailerless for several
years now.

They are actually on the service road north of Crystal, East end but
it is a great resource for all sorts of hot dipped galvanized hardware
at a good price. It is a whole lot cheaper than the "dock/boat lift"
store
They are pretty good about letting you graze through the bins and
collecting a bag of bolts, washers, plates or whatever. Then you take
it to the office and pay. They like cash. ;-)

I assume you know about this place on Hanson Street?

They have a good selection of hardware also - galvanized, stainless,
and maybe some bronze as I recall. They also sell very handy
"briefcase" style tool kits at a good price. The amount of stuff in
their back room is enormous.
