Thanks for the advice. I will see what the company can do. These are literally brand new axles. What a shame it would be to have to swap the whole thing out just over a few little nicks. Then it's new wet bolts for the spring eyes and prob new u bolts too. The most important thing is they got me here okay. As for going back home that will not be any time soon luckly there is a location not far away.
That said I may just tap a sleeve over it as mentioned and throw some brakes shoes on there. I hate to do that type of fix to a brand new axle but my particular circumstances it may be the best option.
