KSG-lightweight left hand hub
Some of you may have spied this hub in a previous photo. Pardon the sacrilege of a blue part. It is indeed as light as it can be made. The screws have only about 3/16" of threads. Very light indeed. Slightly lighter than my homemade one because the screw heads are countersunk.

On first assembly I pushed the hub on hard with my palm to get it on. It was tight. I could not pull it off with my fingers unfortunately for the blue finish.

I pried it and got it off. The hub was undersize. I ran a 1/4 inch reamer through it to fix it. Now it fit well. Use locktite on only the threads of the screws. Don't let it accumulate in the sockets or the screw will be hard to back out.

Works OK other wise. Now barry does not believe that any of these lightening tricks actually work but then he commented how much punch the car had.
