Default monster miata hubs with factory five axles?

I know I have read the answer to this question on a thread several hundreds of threads ago. I cannot remember if Martins broached hubs work with the factory five 8.8 axles?
If they do not work who do I get to broach my hubs? I have called every machine shop in San Antonio and no one can do it. I saw some people using Mark Williams in Denver. Any other suggestions?
Anndddd... what is the factory five part number or a link for the axles that work for miatas?

You could always just use Martins axles & hubs & not have to source parts & services from 2 separate parties. I am not saying that you are going to have problems with the route that you are planning to take, but if you do, you may be stuck between 2 parties that want to put the blame on each other.

Very true. I would like to order everything at once from a trusted source. I was under the impression that Martins axles were meant for the 7.5 differential. That the axles would be slightly too long for my 8.8 differential. Maybe I miss understood?

I think that they both use the same axle. There was a post about it somewhere.

A quick call to Martin would sort it out definitively.

I'm pretty sure they are the same axles also. Do call Martin to confirm. Maybe he'll chime in here...

Martin?

Already done gents. There is a very detailed thread where Martin spelled it all out... https://www.v8miata.net/v8-miata-dri...uestions-1662/
