Wilwood 270-6535c Wide 5 Snap Cap Front Hub Imca Dirt Late Model on 2040-parts.com
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States

Starlite "55" hubs feature the strength of our traditional eight bolt aluminum hub with an all-new design forcused on maximized weight reduction. Computer FEA analysis and design technology were applied to reconfigure the existing hub and its related components in order to achieve an effective lightweight design. Each hub is permanent mold cast using a high strength aircraft alloy. The resulting weight of the Starlite "55" hub, with studs and bearing races installed, is 6. 99 pounds. With the optional drilled lightweight wheel studs, the weight drops to 6. 71 pounds. That's nearly a pound lighter than eight bolt aluminum hubs, and lighter than some magnesium hubs!To further reduce overall weight, Starlite "55" hubs have been designed for use with a five bolt drive flange. The drive flanges are CNC machined from high strength 7075-T6 aluminum billets and are available in either a standard or lightweight configuration. a drilled stud hub can be run with the lightweight drive flange at a combined assembly weight of 7. 6 pounds! That's less than or equal to the weight of any magnesium hub combined with an eight bolt drive flange. It's also considerably stronger, and more economically priced. Each drive flange kit includes the drive bolts and lockwashers. The bolts are manufactured from a heat treated, lightweight steel alloy that is stronger than a grade 8 cap screw. The bolts feature 12 point heads and are lock wire drilled for additional safety. Starlite "55" hubs are available in standard and GM rotor offset and mounting dimensions. They are shipped with bearing races installed, and your choice of standard or lightweight drilled wheel studs. Bearings, seals, and spindle lock nuts are all interchangeable with conventional wide 5 hubs. New five bolt drive flanges are the only special parts required when updating from an eight bolt hub. Starlite "55" Snap-Cap front hubs have had the flange bolt bosses removed, and the hub is machined to accept a fiber reinforced composite Snap-Cap hub cap. With standard studs the hub weighs in at 6. 85 pounds. With the lightweight studs, it weighs 6. 57 pounds. That's lighter than some magnesium hubs, considerably stronger and more economically priced |

Top Gear Tonight: Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series & SLS Electric, Hovercraft Car & Hugh Jackman is SIARPC
Sun, 21 Jul 2013Top Gear tests the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (pictured) against the SLS Electric Drive We’re already halfway through the latest series of Top Gear – Series 20 – with tonight’s episode 4 leaving just two more show to go before the end of the season. Tonight we get Messrs Clarkson, May and Hammond looking for a solution for negotiating flooded regions (which just happens to be running in the longest dry spell in the UK for years) and it seems the solution is to build a car that turns in to a hovercraft. That will be the cue for the boys to appear in wetsuits as they take their creation for a trolley down the River Avon, a trip that will no doubt be more than a little eventful and wayward – hovercraft are not exactly point and steer.
One Lap of the Web: Stop! It's Sledgehammer time!
Wed, 20 Nov 2013-- There's a Bitter SC on eBay this week, and unlike most examples that we see on the list that is Craig's and the Electronic Bays, this is actually in decent shape. Some of you might remember these when they were new, and they remain the best way and perhaps the only way to get into an Opel Senator on this side of the Atlantic. (If you're into that sort of thing.) -- OK, we get it -- Mongolia has only about 2,000 miles of paved roads, but that's no excuse for chafing through a bottleneck in this manner.
Honda speeds up major changes to the Civic
Mon, 06 Feb 2012Honda will bring out a significant mid-cycle change to its embattled Civic compact this fall, just 18 months after it launched, a high-ranking executive told dealers here. The move is a rush to improve the Civic in time for the 2013 model year. The Civic's cheapened interior and other reductions in content got a critical reviews from The Wall Street Journal, and Consumer Reports removed the model from its recommended list.
