[Fot] Taking the Leap

[william r tobin]

Hi, while you're doing the axles, you might as well put in new rear hubs, if 
you haven't already. When I started racing the TR6, everyone told me, it's 
not if, but when they break......
I put Good's hubs in 3 years ago and sleep better at night. $350 a side is 
very reasonable.
I went with his front hubs this year; works of art.
You may already have Uncle Jack's front spindles; if not they work well.
NFI, of course.
Have fun, Bill
