Checkuered flag racing could probably give you good advice, parts etc. I may
be converting my GT6+ to their rear axle set up for racing spitfires.

Need some info and help!!
Had to take a rear axle disc brake set up off a SCCA Spit so I can run it in
vintage. To do that you got to remove the axle bearings. To remove the axle
bearings you have to use a chisel and pop one or both sides of the press on
axle bearing retaining ring to spread it a small amount so it?ll come off the
axle. Then the bearing can come of and the brake backing plate comes off.
Iinstallation is the opposite except you use a drum brake backing plates. When
I used to work for BCA a thousand years ago we sold replacement press on
retaining rings. So I went to the local industrial bearing distributor, they
got the roller bearings, they got the seals they got the inner needle bearings
I need but they say they haven?t seen a press on retainer ring in a zillion
years.
So these are Sommers Bros axles, that are probably 15-20 years old, what the
heck do I do now?? I have searched the web, called a lot of places and nada.
Anybody got an idea?? I got a pair of axles that are no good that keep the car
parked that I just put a new engine in???
