Put the body back on (again)  Switched fuelcells as I think the alloy 1 gallon would be too small.So I am going to use the 4 gallon tank.  Now I am ready for the aluminium panelling  Michael |

Michael, how do you determine the "flex" of the wheelie-bar, or are you mounting it as-is ?
Thanks,

Picked up the rear hubs tonight and I must say John did a really good job. Michael Are they press in studs? I would be a bit concerned about that personally. I've had them strip on me before and that was on a steel hub not alloy. The RLR/Jaycee ones have screw in studs which is just a standard Moroso part and then Shawn Geers ones have the same but he also offers a upgrade to the Mark Williams larger screw in stud which is really nice. I guess at the end of the day it's still an alloy hub but I personally feel safer with the screw in stud Good work though dude, car is looking good! Steve (On Adele's login!) |

Hello,
Really nice work!!
Are you going to run without frontbrakes? I mean with a turbo engine you will reach quite some speed. I know that you are planning of using a brake chute but still?

Hey Steve, Yes they are press-in studs as Mycha allready told. I think the press-in studs are safer then the screw-in.I used to drive my daily with the screw-in and they would come loose thightening the bolts. I was told that screw-ins are not allowed for racing because of that. The alloy used is 7075 grade 1 which is the toughest alloy around.The gold shine it has is from the amount of titanium in the alloy. The original porsche hubs are cast steel and about half the thickness of my aluminium hubs just to be safe . I think it is all a matter of trial and error but I am pretty sure it will hold,thanks for the comment anyway. Michael |

I've seen screw in studs that have a shoulder on the back to tighten up against - Wilwood brake kits for big V8 stuff use them. There wouldn't be the room inside a drum for them, but there might be here.

@ Neil I didn't know that but I will try it with the press-in first.If something goes wrong I can allways change them.
Will keep an eye on them regularly.

Michael All of the Strange and Mark Williams axles/brakes are screw in and so perfectly fine for racing. They just need to be correctly torqued and they should be fine. I have torqued mine to 80ft/lb with a dab of Loctite threadlock for good measure. My wheels have been torqued to 80ft/lb and there is no movement on the studs. I guess we could compare notes and get a real measure of whats working and what's not. Steve |
