I have a home built trailer bought at a garage sale twenty years ago that the half axles are no longer providing any shock absorption. It was hard to read the imprint by artificial garage light but what I can make out says "Made in England" and I think the company is Hexitor, but it's hard to read that too.

Other numbers we could make it were British patent numbers 676098 and 676190. Next to the patent are the names Spencer Moulton and I think it says "pinch mounted" next to the logo.

I was hoping to find parts or a model number, but so far no luck there.

Dextor was a makers name of some torsion axles, google it. RedNeck Trailers supplies sells and ships them. If it's what I think it is, a torsion axle stub end, it'll have 4 bolts that attach the axle end to the frame. they come in a wide range of load sizes. here's something like that at Northern Tool. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...wing+trailer-axles+trailer-stub-torsion-axles
