michaeldavis39 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Hello learned friends I have a quick question for you. I know about the left hand /right hand threads for fitting that's fine. My question is what is this cut out for marked in orange - does it matter where this cut out ends up on the back plate trailing arm combo- I've had a quick look and it doesn't correspond with the lower adjuster nor the brake piston so does it matter where it ends up being located--if it was obvious I wouldn't be asking or being tired when I looked yesterday I'm missing something? Your advice, comments as always gratefully received. Regards Michael Edited June 7, 2020 by michaeldavis39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Michael, I did not pay any attention to those cutouts.... Jochem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reginald Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hi It may give you extra clearance to fit longer studs when assembled to car. Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Perhaps it relates to the original fitment rather than the TR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ah yes Andy that would explain it as these were designed as Cosworth hubs I believe. Anyway thanks everyone I will crack on fitting them now cheers! Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 If you want a definitive answer ask Dennis Vessey http://www.vessey-classic-car-services.co.uk/ They supply them Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

michaeldavis39 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 OK thanks for that--I won't be changing any studs but I get the idea. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard yes, makes perfect sense. Mine were already installed by Dennis, therefore, I did not need to pay attention to it. Jochem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 The Quaife hubs, designed in the mid-90's are a great piece of kit. Originally designed for the powerful 6cyl race cars. Based on the Sierra Cosworth, and uses the Cosworth wheel bearings, hub nut and washer. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Yes Tom you are right that's why I bought them. Rang Vessey today and confirmed the cut out is just to allow for stud replacement and therefore it does not matter how the hubs are fitted just ensure new lock nuts are used, don't overtighten and fit left hand thread on left hand side right into right.

Casar66 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 My first choice if I decide to change the orinigals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 So today after much fettling with a yoke I finally mounted one of my Quaife hubs- I haven't torqued up the nyloc nuts but I'm sure they won't be far out as they are--I'm not too confident in the nylocs though as there is no sign of a single thread poking through as seen in photo--anyone else notice this on their install?
