OK, David, # 1 (more to folow<G>):
<<I am not trying to be obstinate, but why would a spinner get tighter from
driving the car forward as opposed to backward?>>
Centrifugal force.
<< Stopping and starting torques have been discussed. >>
TWO directional forces.
<<My experience has been that stock spinners tend togradually loosen with
use. >>
Huuum, normal maintenance/inspection is not in your book?
<<I also know from experience the stock setup can and will unscrew if the
splines fail,>>
Yep, and we are now back to "maintenance"
<< and I have proposed a theory as to why they do so. But what possible
force could be twisting the spinner if the splines are not spun? Am I
missing something here?>>
See above and yep.
Oh, yeah, got 60K in one year on Hortence with an occasional "thawck" w/lead
hammer on all four corners. No probs.
Do know a Healey Folk or two that have been passed by a WW when the "undo"
was "reversed".
