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?
