How I have looked at a couple of cars running at our track and also how my car was set up when it arrived, the hub insert is with the hole on the inside but still using the outer pivot on the wishbone, making it extra wide. Is this a common setup? It's difficult to tell from all the setup sheets as it doesn't cover the width of the insert just the height.

Thanks in advance

Update: looks like manual for D model has extra wide setting and narrow as kit setting for the M and S model.
when you run the wide hub, you run narrower hexes, such as -2, to keep same overall width

take a look on petit for Ben Smith setup at Herts last year as an example. You do need the dirt inserts to achieve the “later” letter settings and depending on what you run, different length driveshafts may be required to retain correct engagement in the drive cup. I think it might be the dirt car UJs in this case.
