The trick with what we were doing Chris, was to get the right side sorted first so that you don't have to swap the axle over from side to side, you get pretty good at it after a while.

Hello Phil, This is what I use, Two bits of angle iron, The bottom is slotted, Undo the bottom bolt until it slides
Behind the bolt head, The top has a small plate with two 1/4" bolts that slides in behind, DON'T do the small bolts up tight, Or it will dent the top box, I use some duct tape to save the paint.
Undo the top bolt a small bit.
Tighten the nut on the long stud , Till the top bolt feels loose.
It was in MPH many years ago, By the late Roger Haylett.View attachment 24531

Thank you Bill - that’s a great rig you have there & I will be making one for the job.
Cheers
Phil
