I think he had five laps on the Rimmer or Canley assembly and the hub sheared off. Fortunately a low speed part of the track. Not sure if that was a one-off, and he subsequently went on to run them without trouble. Perhaps the Dolans can chime in as to what they run on their numerous GT6s and what this failure was.<br class=""><div><br class=""><div class="">On Jan 19, 2023, at 2:26 PM, Bob Totten via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

<div class=""><font size="4" class="">The question is which model GT6 you have, Mk1 and MK3 cars have swing axles and the GT6+ has fully articulated axles. The axles shown in the pics posted are for early and late cars.. Might suggest looking at the CV conversion axles being offered by Canley Classics in England for the GT6+?? I myself have been running axles made by Snyder Racing & Machine, Michigan ( since have closed their doors ).</font></div>

<div class="">I think what Joe has is only for swing axles. My gt6 came to me with corvair hubs and gm bearings , spicer sliding half shafts and inner and outer u joints. It’s been bulletproof, but requires extensive mods to the uprights.

<div class="">Are the Rimmers Brothers CV conversion kits suitable for racing? </div>
<div class="">OR is there a better solution? </div>
<div class="">I've heard of Corvair and even Volkswagen and Subaru, which is best? </div>
