[Vintage-race] Aluminum Hubs...

[Stewart Smith]

Aluminum aircraft bolts, aluminum radiator ( in period a Fiat radiator, some 
claim the new aluminum radiators carry more water negating any weight 
savings), all un-necessary wiring (brake light, ignition circuit), headlight 
bulbs, aluminum wire wheel rims, billet aluminum driveshaft, magnesium 
trans.......SCCA allowed 940 lbs for BMC sevens and I don't think anyone 
could get that light. I know the 1340's were closer in minimum weight than 
the BMC's for some reason. The BMC transmission is lighter, but the engine 
heavier.
