Found these on eBay. They're called safety hubs. Basically, they are heavy duty axle retainers. NOS from 1956 for 55/56 Chevy and 56 Corvette. Scored for under $10! Since I will be abusing the stock rear in my beater, these were a no brainer. Anyone who's had one of these rears apart knows that the axles are held in with a thin stamped plate. These do not replace the stock ones, they "girdle" them. Thought I should post this so people could check out some kool old speed parts. Here's pix of the install....

Hey str8axel.
Thanks for the info on the axel retainers.
I'm gonna have to find some or fab some up.
That part is a must for my rear.
Thanks for the pix also.
