I recently ordered a new Smiths Tach from Merlin Motorsports in England =
and it came with their catalog.

They have aluminum hubs that they note fit Vitesse and Herald stub axles =
and bearings.  These are the only front hubs they offer.
I thought it odd that they would make aluminum hubs just for the Vitesse =
and Herald. Do these overlap with the Spitfire and GT6? =20

BTW, nice catalogue offerings, somewhat in the Pegasus range, but with =
more gear and a bit less hardware.

Scott,
You can order the GT6 alloy hubs and uprated stub axles with sealed =
bearings from Rimmer Bros. or Canley Classics.
SpitBits probably has them and I=E2=80=99d imagine Ted S can get you a =
set.
The bearings are larger in the GT6 hub vs. the Spitfire.
