What would you like to know about the hub failures? I nearly
flipped my
TR6 over when it stood on it's nose. The right rear hub broke off at the
inner side as I was just coming out of a corner and accelerating WOT in 2nd
gear. The tire went out the back of the car and the rear was thrown up high
enough for it to clear out.
I was told it would happen and I thought 'no, not
to me'.
I have also replaced the front hubs, another weak spot.

Is there a source for photographs and/or detailed instructions
regarding
the 240Z conversion.
I would like to learn more the hub failures.

Do not race your TR with the
standard hubs they will break. we have had
2
failues on track cars which
very nearly lead to the death of the
drivers.
There are many many examples
of hub failures. The design is terrible .
We
replace the TR hub with a
Datsun 240Z it is a fairly simple conversion.
