Steve-
I might take you up on that. I just purcahsed a pair of the alloy vert links and was not sure how to proceedd. My car currently has the old Corvair hub upgrade with some kind of axles with universal joints. Could be TR6. I thought those u- joints would soak up more hp than the newer cv joint deal. Any thoughts?

: MGF/R100 hub is considerably stronger

: set-up, plus shipping plus core
: surcharge (or return shipping). An
: alternative would be to get your
: vertical links machined locally (fairly
: simple operation)and just import hubs,
: shafts and adaptors. It is quite
: possible that it could be duplicated
: more or less using parts from cars that
: are common in the US.
