I might just take you up on that Warren. First, maybe I'll contact Buchanans again to see if they really have changed their minds about doing a/c wheels.My hubs are done in steel, and bushed, ready to go, but lately I've been building a redrive on my lathe for ea-81 soob, so might just turn some hubs from alum and set bearings in them. Then send those off for spoke wheels instead of using the clunky old steel ones.Bob>From: "Warren D.
