So I had my first race meeting last night for a couple of years. I was amazed how well the car went, the balance was fantastic (jumped beautifully), I had plenty of speed and steering, it really was a joy until I ran out of talent and hit a wall that just wouldn't get out of my way :roll: hence the need for the arms :(

It's the first time I've run a vintage car in competition and I really enjoyed it but I think I'm going to have to swap to something that I can get spares more easily for.
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

You know I have made so many parts for people it is getting difficult to remember all the work I have done. The car turned out fantastic and it sounds like the hubs were perfect for you. I am always glad to see parts I machine go to good use and the car turned out beautiful.

If you are able to get action shots, we would love to see them.

You know if you guys are looking for arms for your runners, I can machine arms for practically any car which are super durable and tough. I need to get back to the US which will be in about 5 months so I can be reunited with my machines.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you for the kind comments Jake, your hubs couldn't have worked out any better, perfect infact.

Ive managed to get hold of a couple of sets of arms but I have no doubt I'll be needing another solution in the future.

Are you able to machine hub carriers?
