Subject: [TR] TR-3/4/5/6 Aluminum hubs Commercial message
> uncle jack's racing Aluminum front hubs are going back into production for
> a limited quantity run.
>
> These are a revised design that I've been testing on my TR-4 race car all
> season. We are using a different set of inner bearings than the prior
> aluminum hubs used, but they have the same high load rating and are about
> half of the cost. These hubs eliminate a significant weakness in the
> stock hubs between the inner and outer flange. They incorporate very high
> load rating, larger than stock Timken bearings which eliminates the
> bearing failure issues that are present with stock bearings when using
> sticky tires. I have been running set with bearings of this load rating
> from 2003 through 2009 (before running the prototypes this year) and can
> detect no wear in the bearings. I drive them HARD, and am not afraid to
> use the curbs.
>
> I'm taking pre-orders at this time - no deposits yet. But, please don't
> pre-order a set if you don't really intend to buy them. This is a very
> significant investment for me, and I need to gauge the level of interest.
>
> Here's how the pricing shakes out (US dollars):
> A) Bare hubs: $175.00 each / $350.00 per pair
> B) Hubs with Timken races and ARP studs installed: $280.00 each / $560.00
> per pair
> C) Hubs with all bearings, seals, dust caps and ARP studs installed:
> $370.00 each / $740.00 per pair
>
> For folks who order these hubs, if you already have the heavy duty axle
> kit, I'll supply a pair of bearing spacers that will work with these hubs
> for $40 per pair.
>
> If you don't already have a set of the Heavy Duty front axles, I'll supply
> the axle kit along with the hubs for $150 per pair. These are the lowest
> prices for the axle kits that have been offered.
>
> Shipping is a flat $20 in the continental US, $35 to Canada, and other
> international shipping is probably $50 - at least to Germany or to
> Australia.
>
> The hubs are designed to accept ARP 1/2" x 3" studs, but ARP 7/16" x 3.2"
> studs can be specified. 7/16" is the stock diameter.
>
> If you're interested, please send an e-mail to tony@tonydrews.com with the
> following info:
> * Which set you're interested in (A, B or C)
> * How many hubs are desired (2 would be assumed)
> * Stud diameter desired
> * Are spacers needed?
>
