I bought a 1930 Model A from my aunt, and in the process of working through the brakes in the front end, I discovered a LOT of play in the perch pin. Digging in a bit more, I found that the perch pin nut had been sloppy for so long, that it turned the round hole in axle into more of an oval.

Is it possible to pull the axle and have some re-sleeve it? if not, does anyone sell new axles? I've looked online (briefly) and none of the suppliers I've used sell them.
