[Tigers] Front Hubs

[ironbeast at comcast.net]

Tod, 
I just had a similar problem putting Panasports on my Mk1A. The wheel is centered by the wheels studs, and sometimes you may notice that the outside diameter of the hub is not concentric to center of the wheel. The O.D. is not a critical tolerance and the castings can be quite far off. 

In my case I carefully ground off just the extra material where the interference was occurring and everything fits fine.

Subject: [Tigers] Front Hubs 

Hello All: 

The other day, a friend who owns a Tiger II found that one of his pie mags would not 
fit on one of the front hubs . In trying to figure out why, we took a hub off a Series V 
Alpine that we have been dismantling and found that the mag would fit on that hub 
very eas ily. I would have thought that the hubs used on the Tiger II's and the Series V 
Alpines were the same and, as far as I can find, there is only one part number on the 
Parts List, but they are slightly different. Can anyone offer any insight into this situation? 

We also noticed that the brake discs on the Tiger II and the Alpine V were different, with 
the Tiger di sc being thicker but sligh tly smaller in diameter than those on the Alpine. 

Are the se just ordinary vari ations in manufactured parts of is there some other 
explanation? 

Thanks,
