S38B35 / M88 / M30 strengthened Crank hub

[BenGerman]

Hi guys,

since I've been getting a lot of request for another batch of strengthened crank hubs, we decided to schedule another run.
Unfortunately it won't be until late January for the deliveries, but since you don't need the hub until the whole engine is back together it will still give all of you plenty of time to finish your engines for the 2019 season.

Same specs as last time: High strength alloy steel (same material as forged cranks), hardened, hard finish turned to spec.
Original ones are NLA and are prone to show fatigue failure at high rpm applications (which the M88 and S38 clearly are).




Price: $300 + shipping
Full Payment due before order confirmation.

Interested as I’ll need this for the new race motor

[BenGerman]

Looking at late January for the next run. Should be shipped by Feburary.

Pardon my ignorance for asking, but is this equivalent to the Frank fahey crank hub? Are the Fahey hubs no longer available?

[BenGerman]

Yes sir! We had the same question in the old thread. Since the Fahey hubs weren’t available for the longest time, I decided to make my own run.

By now, multiple engines are on the road with these hubs, including some from VSR and Mark Hutto.

I'm in. Let me know payment details & timing.

[BenGerman]

Confirmed the production schedule today, we are in for mid February which will bring us to a shipping date of cw10.
Unfortunately these take a long time with multiple machining steps, broaching, external heat treatment and finish turning.

I'm taking the deposits now, since the run is smaller the price went up a little, but I think it's still very fair compared to what's out there.

E: For the California crew I can deliver at St. Paddies day.

Ben,

I'll need one of these too for the m88 rebuild. Please add me to the list and let me know payment details.

PM'd.
We will order the raw material soon.

[MannyE]

I'm in for one mailed to 92154.

[BenGerman]

Got a slot at heat treat on 3/6, the finish turn will be done fairly quick afterwards.

Still have a couple of blanks left, let me know who needs more.

Very few left. Tomorrow the broaching will be done.
Still on track for the heat treat schedule.

I installed mine from the last batch.

[BenGerman]

Awesome, looks great on there. There is a couple of cars out there running them already. Hope you get yours back together soon.

What's the latest on shipping these? Anyone got theirs?

[CSGuy]

I'd like one

[VintageRacer]

I’ll put a word of endorsement on these hubs. I have one on my alpina spec group A M30B35 that sees 7200 RPM regularly. Well made!!

[BenGerman]

Thanks for the kind words!
Plenty of them out there in high power S38 and M30s Running well!

Im making one final batch, have a few left over.

Please send me a message if you’d like one.

[BenGerman]

Still have a couple available.

[BenGerman]

Down to the final one!
