I think there have been two fail, one on road and one on track but people are now running over 500 bhp and tracking their cars a lot harder.
Hubs I found about £35 each delivered and they're really good quality.

standard splindal is in fact just a high tensile allen key bolt!

Ok, so it looks like we have our list so I'll talk to the engineer tomorrow and get a final price from him. He thinks the 5 speed spindles will be slightly cheaper to make than the ones for 6 speed so I'll sort that with him and post details soon as I can. Porsche hub nuts are now £6 each (double what it says on the wiki) unless anyone knows where to get them any cheaper? I dont mind ordering all of them and sending them out with the spindles as it's probably easier that way.

If anyone with a 5 speed box is thinking of changing to a 6 speed box at any time then it would be a good idea to order the spindles for a 6 speed. As far as I know they'll still fit the same but someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

Is this something that is going to be available after the group buy has ended?

Hi mat, it's not too late. I spoke to him today so he can order materials so another pair won't be a problem. Julian, I suppose you could order some at a later date but you'll be spending a lot more money because of the set up time etc. They are only this price because we're having a large amount made in one go.
