Has anyone tried building up the metal like on the 70 hubs by welding? I hear so many people crying how thin the later hubs are. Any ideas on if this would work or not?

I want to add something too....
has ANYONE.. EVER seen a failed late hub? I know I haven't. for all these years I've heard that the early hub is stronger/better, yet I've been running a converted late hub on the track for 14years not with no problems... I've changed to longer studs, I've examined it.. I've kept an eye on it.. Yet I've never had a problem..... I wouldn't trust a screw in stud to early or late, but if you using a correct press in stud I don't see a problem with the late style hub... am I blind, am I lucky.. what have other people seen? brant |
