Thanks for chiming in Joe. This is the best way to go because Joe does all of
the leg work for the complete assembly. I supply him with the hubs.

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

axles for his Spitfire. It's a
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.
