Hi M-08 fans,

I am from Germany and just registered to this forum, because I read you are discussing about the front c-hubs.

A few weeks ago I purchased a M-08 to build me a nice NSU TT, just for parking lots. I read this whole thread before and got some tips and tricks.
But what was still bothering me was the play of the king pin bushings. So I designed and printed a new c-hub which fits some ball bearings instead of the original bushings. It worked perfectly, no more play at this joint!

Now I read you broke some c-hubs at the bottom section, where the shells for the caster adjustment are inserted? Did I understood this correctly? So I thought, if you are interested I could upload my c-hubs to i.e. shapeways so you could order them from there.
I can also modify this bottom section to make it stronger. I can make a version to fit the hinge pin directly instead of these shells. Of course I would have to know a desired caster angle.

I think I can't upload pics with my first post? So I will post them later.

Best regards!
Mike
