Considering that it is the smallest axle of them all... there is no reason or market to warrant one.

not to mention putting lightweight axles in is about the least effective drivetrain upgrade as far as rotating weight goes....if that's what your going for

You would gain transient handling (unsprung weight) with
not much loss to the already inadequate strength of the
shaft. I know Moser makes aftermarket axles but do not
know whether they offer drilled, or drilled at greater than
OE strength.

From what I remember, Moser will not gun drill axles smaller than 33 spline.

Like he said Moser don't offer that for such a small axle. It would end up compromising the strength of the axles.
