[Fot] Perhaps the best GT6 Racing axle ever made.

[Jason Sukey]

Interesting to see the different approaches to GT6 rear hubs/bearings/axles.

My race car has the 240z hubs and bearings - but similar to others, parts
are getting hard to find.

I converted Kallie's race Spitfire to the GT6 style rear suspension this
year.  We're using  front wheel drive style cartridge wheel bearings and
hubs.  Similar to what some of the UK guys have done using modern MGF
bearings and hubs, but with parts that are easy to find new in the USA.  So
far, it's proven to work well.  I hope to convert my GT6 racer to this
setup after this race season is over.
