       Sankey axle specs?

       Hi all,
       I'm looking to turn this hefty metal cradle into a trailer:

       Overall weight is 2 tons and the outside width of the frame
       longitudinals is 1465mm.
       As Indespension is stupidly expensive, my idea is to use a pair
       of Sankey axles under the centre of gravity.
       Please can someone tell me the width from spring mount to spring
       mount of a wide-track axle tube? Also, what is the overall
       weight rating of a single axle? Do they use standard LR leaf
       springs or are they special trailer springs? I take it the
       brakes are cable operated?
       thanks,
       Matthew
