I think the TR Shop used to sell the Bastuk ones but they only seem to sell reconditioned ones now. Cheers TRy Moss at their Feltham branch. HUBS Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The owner then decided it was trying to tell him something and replaced with 2 new hubs which comes complete with new stub axle and quality bearings. We have had a small ( but growing) catalogue now of instances such as this with hubs or stub axles failing in use...even low stress running say 60 mph on a straight road where there are hardly any side forces or scrub. These units are dying, they have reached their “ timed” life with most having had an “ interesting” past which could well have caused stresses within and hidden faults. These items cannot be easily and safely crack tested, the very act of stripping to constituent parts will cause extra stressing on their aged materials. I am changing the rear hubs and stub axles on my Stag ( this hub above is the same design as a TR) the front hubs seem rather better and a new stub axles has sufficed there. Mick Richards Blimey. I’m pleased I took the plunge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
