      Unibody Mk4 Spitfire 6

      By Escadrille Ecosse · Posted

      Cheers Nick. Makes sense given the relative thermal expansion coefficients. Fortunately although the Spitfire runs 9" brakes and calipers, it came with the early uprights and caliper adapters so I changed the uprights to GT6 for the larger bearings. And it has the solid bearing spacers too. Will have a look at options.

      By Nick Jones · Posted

      Yes. Buy from reputable sources only. Bearing races should be really tight - substantially warming the hubs helps with fitting and removing them. If they are not really tight then probably worth assembling with bearing fitting loctite. Note that there are variations. Those that take Herald/Spit bearings (rare), those that take Vit/GT6 bearings, both available with Ford and Triumph PCD. Another variation, as shown here are the CC big-bearing ones. That Subaru info is an excellent find. Adding that to my library - thanks

      Unibody Mk4 Spitfire 6

      By Escadrille Ecosse · Posted

      Good to know. Confirms my determined choice of the std wheels studs for my Spitfire. 76g of unsprung weight is 76g Pondered the alloy hubs. 2.26kg off the front of the car is not to be sniffed at. Almost 0.5% of the weight of a 600kg car. But I have heard mixed reviews regarding bearing races coming loose over time. Any comments on Sideways? Nice to see some progress too

      The Online Safety Act 2023

      By JohnD · Posted

      Yes, that's what I thought! Moderation and peer pressure prevent boards such as ours from offending against the OSA. Naughton is a newspaper columnist, who cynics might say was just after copy, but he is also "senior research fellow in the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities at Cambridge University, Director of the Press Fellowship Programme at Wolfson College, Cambridge, emeritus professor of the public understanding of technology at the British Open University, and adjunct professor at University College, Cork" (Wikipedia)  So DO he and his informant have real grounds for concern? I've written to him c/o the Observer asking him to use his next column to explain why he thinks ordinary sites are so threatened. John

      The Online Safety Act 2023

      By zetecspit · Posted

      I have a vested interest in this as I look after the CT forum I have just glanced at this page https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer  which is having a good stab at being succinct.  It appears that there just needs to be a system in place to deal with inappropriate/harmful content. Which we all have, as the online community is very good at reporting dodgy content, and moderators act swiftly to deal with it. And to be perfectly honest, in 15 years I have never seen anything remotely harmful. It is all either spam or spats between people who ought to know better.
