Can metal shafts replace wooden ones? Where is the best place to purchase?

[lizzybee]

The shafts my pony cart came with are too long, uneven and I am just not happy with them. They are wooden and I would like to replace them with metal. The shafts attach with three bolts to the metal cart. Is it possible? Any recommendations on a trustworthy source for purchse?

Your best bet is to find a local welder who can make what you want. That way he can see the cart and make the shafts to fit. One difference--metal shafts will likely need reinforcement underneath.
