ATI is a great product - The instructions say they want it on tight-You have
to hone the hub to fit your application - It's to be used with a good
Installer tool only - It is a pain taking it on and off during Engine
mock-up , but well worth the effort- - I swear by them- though never needed
one for the Spitfire yet!
