I had an order going to Rimmers for parts for the Stag, and Rimmers carries
TR6 stuff. Their prices were almost 1/2 what I could get the bearings here
for. Too bad I now see why, they sourced the inboard bearing from Japan.
Absolutely lesser quaility. The Timken outers are the same as I can buy here.
I think I will probably go for the Drews/Southwick aluminium hubs. They use
bigger bearings, capable of handling higher loads.

Neat, where did you get them?

You betcha! No wait, that was what I said when I went to road America in
Wiscooonsin. ;-)
I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing you again. Will Scott be there?
