Hello listers,
I have noticed with interest the same question of splined hubs keeps
repeating itself on the list.
As I have decided to give my long suffering wife of 42 years some sanity
back into her life and not to continue to have three in our marriage, [ my
wife, myself, and automobiles ] I will be concentrating with other business
commitments in future.
For this reason I will be compiling a list of manufacturers and suppliers
that most of you will simply never ever have heard of.
I would respectfully suggest that a number of you "pool" your efforts and
send one large order as you require parts, this way you can save
considerably upon freight.
The actual manufacturers for the splined hubs is......ORSON
EQUIPMENT........for details look them up on www.classic-car-world.co.uk
They manufacture hubs for ALL models, even Jaguar C and D types.
Austin Healey rear splined hubs................all.............34 English
pounds.
Austin Healey front splined hubs..............all .............46 English
pounds.
Austin Healey knock off spinners.............all................9 English
pounds
Thor copper/hide knock off hammer...........................8 English
pounds.
As the orders will be leaving the European zone they will be zero rated for
value added tax, and as such will attract no tax at source. You may however
be subject to import duties upon arrival at your destination.
How many of you have ever heard of ........ Royce Power???
......or......Radshape????? You will, because I will inform you in the
near future .
Kindest regards.
David.
