- Hi all, Joe Curry and I have been discussing, off list, the question of GT6 hubs and their tendency to break, leaving a perfectly nice GT6 rolled into a ball. From time to time on the list, we've dis

- I'm not a metalurgist, and I've not been a racer for eons, so my offering is more along the lines of a "lint picking session"... but to answer the principle question: why do hubs break? I'd have to

- Thanks, Bob. You are now lint-free. I'll put you down for one vote that the hubs break due to increased cornering forces and due to accumulated stresses related to cornering forces and perhaps by acc

- In the beginniung we found that the hubs broke because they were using a SQUARE key in the axle and as the hub tried to turn it would actually roll up over the key and break the casting. We milled th

- I recommended the change of axles on the TR-6 as that was the term we found was the LIFE of the unit. We ( as factory guys) could not use other componets and so lost a few to find that the life was a

- As I have mentioned before on the list, I have plans that were provided to me in 1976 by Group 44 (sorry, Kas) for rear hubs for the TR-4A through TR-6. I won't bore the whole list with the details,

- When i said CHANGE to a modified unit I meant for the TR-6 stub axle. On the GT-6 we finally made up a forged unit. I had to have the die made and that of course is long gone, but we did indeed break

- With the Rotoflex rear, the only keyed piece that I can see is on the inner axle shaft. The outer shaft is splined. So I guess that synopsis doesn't apply to the rotoflex, or does it? If so how? Rega
