silverfox4 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hi All, My initial thought is that the hub might be the TR outboard sliding shaft which has been shortened and splined - possibly for competition use. This is a double roller bearing configuration and appears quite robust. One has damage on the bearing faces so needs repair, but I'm wondering if there is a possible application in the TR world.

John L Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Could it be one of these? https://www.classicdrivingdevelopment.co.uk/category.asp?cID=18&carID=8&pID=93&page=TR5%2C+TR250%2C+TR6+UPRATED+REAR+UJ+HUB John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfox4 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thanks John, That's very interesting. I wonder if this hub might be a 70's fore-runner to the CDD hubs, as I note that their spline is on the outboard wheel flange as opposed to the coarse spllne for the in-board U/J yoke. I should try and find out what the CDD hub arrangement dimensions are. Cheers, Alf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Alf, Why not send CDD a picture and see if they can identify it, Perhaps was a prototype? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silverfox4 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Thanks for that thought. Actually, Goodparts hubs are on my wish list for the 4A, hopefully this winter, but at the moment I know nothing about their internals as there are fewer images compared to the CDD version. I do know that the Good parts hub is 6" long between ctr U/J and wheel flange versus the subject hub is 5 5/8". Also all modern hub versions have the nut at the outboard versus inboard for the above.
