Greetings from Finland!
In our last race I had a completely new fault in my Triumph Spitfire Mk1
(I thought I've already had them all...), which caused also some other
damage here and there.
The rear hub broke and there we went... the wheel got loose and the car
rolled about 1 and 1/2 turns. I have had a breaking halfshaft before
(now fixed with better material), but this was a new experience. Anyway
for now on the hubs will be also specially made.
Please have a look at: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jtabell/bo00race.htm
Has anyone else had similar experiences with Spitfire rear hubs? I've
heard that some Lotus Elans have had same problems.
