Hi all the Spitfire GT wont be making the RBRR, it needs a couple things doing but I really have no time to do them with work being very busy and the car being 500 miles away. I wish everyone all the best and have a safe trip. Chris.

Advice on knocking out wheel studs please
CHRIS211083 replied to John Bonnett's topic in Running Gear
I didn't need to drill the hole in the backing plate for my rear studs. Try moving the flange round till they slip in. Just fiddly. Chris. -
2" large bore can be noisy. Cliftyhanger has my plus 1. Chris.

I've spoken to Dave at canleys and he said that he has over 900 kits sold and no issues with them spining the races. As there is no movement in the race, just it rotates I'm going to clean the hub and then apply Loctite 603 to the edge of the race and let it drain into what ever gap there might be. Will do both inner and outer bearing races as both are able to spin. That should hold them fine and the bearings look fine so all should be good. Chris.

No because it needs to be perfectly centered. its now freely rotating front and back race.
-
Looks like I spoke too soon, my front right has the races rotating. Buggar.

The alloy hubs from Canleys have the races lock tighted in so no rotation on those. The bearing are good quality and have seals on the bearings each end. I'm very happy with mine but the Gt6 ones will also work fine. Chris.

I think original is like Triggers broom, Ten new handles and ten new heads but still going strong. Chris.
