Ralph - great idea. I have several of those hub adapters haging around
anyway... I'll give it a shot. In the case of the TR6 outer hub, it would
probably be a good idea to beef up the flange base by plug welding a 1/2
or 3/4 inch piece-o-steel onto the base and the top section should be pretty
thick too, but this is a great idea.
Thanks.
