to answer Mike=E2=80=99s earlier question, I recall, maybe 5-6 years =
ago, seeing Jim Dolan at Summit Point in the carousel in either the =
Group 44 GT6 or the Kastner GT6, and one of his rear wheels going past =
him. I think he had five laps on the Rimmer or Canley assembly and the =
hub sheared off. Fortunately a low speed part of the track. Not sure =
if that was a one-off, and he subsequently went on to run them without =
trouble. Perhaps the Dolans can chime in as to what they run on their =
numerous GT6s and what this failure was.

Amici,
The question is which model GT6 you have, Mk1 and MK3 cars have swing =
axles and the GT6+ has fully articulated axles. The axles shown in the =

CV conversion axles being offered by Canley Classics in England for the =
GT6+?? I myself have been running axles made by Snyder Racing & =
Machine, Michigan ( since have closed their doors ).
My 2 cents,

I think what Joe has is only for swing axles. My gt6 came to me with =
corvair hubs and gm bearings , spicer sliding half shafts and inner and =
outer u joints. It=E2=80=99s been bulletproof, but requires extensive =
