[Fot] Triumph Comp Axle Kit

[Barr, Scott]

I was fine, thanks.  The car didn't actually go over on its head.  This
was a Summers Bros. axle similar to the style you're using in your kit,
but a much smaller diameter (1.00" I believe).  The Summers Bros. axle
we were using was a very nice piece, and would have been fine had I not
made a mistake and slid the car sideways down the track.  Cold tires +
too fast, too soon = broken axle.

Hi  Jerry,  I  he has a a few failures.  Hope your son was OK.  I have
had two customer break axles my earlier design using stock hubs like you
did.  Jim Bush and John Wilkins having seen the cost of repair the new
set is well worth it.   Thanks   Joe
