1976 550F Rear hub

<< < (3/3)

PikeyBoy:
Sounds like fun to me. I actually worked in engineering for quite a few years and love that smell of cooling fluid!

matthewmosse:
Thought I'd say here that I now have a machine that will take a whole wheel (in theory at least) I'm considering a evening course to get qualified but may be able to take over if Paul Jackson decides to retire.

word on the street in the late '80's was that a morris minor wheel hub was the right diameter to machine down . I've got a stockpile of them somewhere if one of these is any use

matthewmosse:
classic mini also a good fit, I have a couple stashed in the shed, I've done the one so far, but on the small lathe, the new one that takes a whole wheel still needs converting to single phase power and a really good cleaning and lubrication session but was really cheap so I couldn't resist it, can handle 28" diameter by 12 wide and a futher 16" by 7 foot. Really old but quality kit that was built to last.
