Chuck: I don't know about your larger hubs. The Summers axles are an integral 
axle/hub design. Thanks - Ed

Joe: I am in the process of getting a new price quote from Summer's on my 
axles. 
I have two people that are in need of three sets so far (Steve A. you are one 
of 
them). I'm sure of two things: they will be higher this time ($837.00 last 
time), and I'll get a break if we order more than five sets. People on the list 
that have bought them before can tell you what they think of them, but I do 
agree with Joe C., the diff will be the next weakest link. I had the pleasure 
of 
seeing one of these diffs explode when the clutch was dumped on a Spit with a 
350 coupled to a T700. Quite spectacular! A cutdown Firebird rear fixed it 
right 
up. Thanks - Ed

street Spit but with a super-clean Rover V8 installation - wheel bearing
burned up on him last weekend and he would like to upgrade while he's at it.
How is the Summers Brothers axle set working out for everyone? Is there
anyone else planning to purchase these soon? Let me know if there are other
axle sets he should consider.
