Chuck,
I run the corvair axles with rear disc brakes. Contact David Wingett at
elkhorn@core.net He may be able to supply you with the corvair axle/hub
assembly. Also ask him to turn the axle flanges down to stock diameter
so you can fit the stock drums on them. They will have the same bolt
pattern as stock wheels so don't throw away the Panasports yet. That is
part of the process that David does to make them fit on our cars. I can
do this for you too but my workload is such that I won't be able to get
to them for another 8 months. I am spending all of my time on the rear
disc brake system.

Subject: Hub failure and lowering the front
Two topics/questions:
1. I got the stiff springs, have removed the bump stop, have one
rebuilt rear hub, but not the other. Have put on the sticky Kuhmo's
[but not run it yet] -- now I'm worried about hub failure. Am planning
to put in the Nissan 300Z diff next winter. Does anyone have practical
experience with installing the rest of the Nissan [240/260/280/300??]
rear -- meaning the axels as well as the diff? Bob Lang, I know you
have the corvairs, Mike Munson, what do you run? IF I decide to do
Corvairs, where can I get info on what parts to source [and will I still
be able to use my brand new 16x7 Panasports [with the TR6 4 bolt/4.5"
spacing]?
2. Now that I have 205-45/16's all the way round, the front sticks up
too high. I just installed the tt4207 450lb 6.0 inch front springs
which brought down an inch, but the front is still 1" higher than the
rear [which already has stiff short springs]. I like to lower the frame
-- how did you do that Bob? Anybody else have any ideas/warnings?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck Arnold
