The above Satchel hubs are basically the Citroen C2R2max flanges that are NLA unless you want to pay £400 ....they were £238.80 before last year ...they use the standard 406 hubs and 406 bearings ....

Here’s the complete 608 outer CVs with Satchel shafts and Sequencial inner CVs from VW / Audi ...you can see how big the outer CVs are huge. [PS these are Tony Palfreys not mine]

Hi Graeme
That’s not mine ...that’s Tony Palfreys rally car spares of Maxi Motorsports / Satchel but mine are similar but with GKN Circuit inner Motorsport CVs ...

Tony and Colin have been testing and using them for the last 12months and no issues or failures at all Thumbs up
Remember my cars not ready to testify LOL LOL LOL LOL

PS they both run the same Sequencial box and engine .

(Hopefully)....some updates this weekend ..after updating the Kitchen for the Mrs (playing the game getting brownie points ...I’m playing again putting the car together this Sat/ Sunday Thumbs up

Small update and hopefully some useful info for you guys saving you some dosh ....

I’m running new Satchel drive flange hubs now and will be fitting New SKF 406 hub bearings ...remember I run All Satchel 406 Hubs and modified arms etc NOT 306 ones on my 306

Below is a picture of SKF 406 bearing wheel kit and code ....£19.60 per side direct off of SKF UK ...

They now sell direct through Google = (SKF VSM UK) you don’t need a account or be trade Thumbs up
That price is half what anyone else is charging ...but remember that’s 406 ...

I’m a great fan of SKF and SKF aftermarket products...I personally think they are the best manufacturer of bearings in the World ....

Looks great but is all that really necessary? I don't think destroying cv's or splines is a particular problem is it? Given all the sc cars that are destroying gearboxes before driveshafts I'd always thought the shafts/cv's were fairly strong?

Hi Pete ...hope your well m8 Thumbs up

Your correct and totally OTT but also Future proofing buy once makes sense to crazy me LOL LOL

Plus my cars 75mm each side wider Thumbs up

Also Sandys uprating my engine next year 300hp hopefully with mental torque all 2.0L Thumbs up

I blew both my Inner CVs at Combe last time out when I took Blandy =Mike Bland out for a spin ...
My reasoning is I get Satchel shafts made to my length with the Sequencial in the price and I paid a little extra for GKD inner CVs ...so seeing as the Cv outers come in the gearbox package too I might as well pay a little extra difference too ...

It’s more for piece of mind Pete...
Now the gearbox will take the power it’s possibly going to find the next weakest item and I’m guessing CVs possibility?

Citroen Sport = C2Max2 use same flange spline size and CVs size for some reason be it a professional rally car LOL

My thinking is £8k on a gearbox and a couple of hundred pounds more isn’t the end of the world to give extra piece of mind Thumbs up ...

PS you may of read ?....my old gearbox was a six speed Standard rebuilt Miles box with Bacci Romani FD ....that is still going strong in Mike Blands car and I always used GKD CVs but remember I really use this car in anger at Combe ...I understand what your saying about SC cars blowing boxes but I believe if the box was sorted changed and could take it then the CVs or shafts would fail next on SC big power cars

I’ve not really seen personally myself many Any HB or SHB SC 6s out on track at Combe doing 13 laps non Stop in anger maybe that’s because of the boxes being like cheese and not able to take the constant abuse lap after lap ....only car I’ve seen Personally running big power was Chris Lapit’s Turbo that was reliable and that had big money internals ...

For me my crazy thinking is do it now seeing as the expensive shafts are made to what ever spline size patten I want 608 and are included in the gearbox package ... rather than getting the shafts made with 406 size then having to pay for yet another pair of shafts for 608 ...piece of mind in my crazy thoughts Pete LOL

I think you will agree with me the cars gone way past sensible a long long time ago ...total obsession now ...sadly Crazy

I keep following this thread with great interest! So please keep these updates comming.

Just recently I decided to build a track day car, but I will start off with wheight reduction, GAZ Gold coil overs with Baker BM adjustable topmounts, and rear axle with Xsara torsion bars.

I am pretty sure my girlfriend would not fully agree on updates like yours :p

Totally agree with you regards the next thing down the line to break, I'm a bit of a fan of being able to get stuff fairly easily if it does break, and I guess if it keeps breaking then I'll look at alternatives!

When you say 2.0 and 300bhp is that genuine 2.0 or will it be more like 2.3? Be interested in the rebuild hours involved as the only other ones I've seen are the maxi engines which could only do about 20 hours running before needing a rebuild. Even pug1off said there's wouldn't do half a season before needing a rebuild. This seems to be mostly down to the revs required to get to 300, the 2.0s I've seen are knocking on for 10k rpm with the larger capacity ones generally under 9k, just...

100% 2.0L...my engine at mo is capped at 10,000 it was 12.. genuine 286....but Sandy capped it RPM ..don’t forget Colin’s is 298 now and he’s raced it all season ..ok up hills once not lap after lap but massively reliable ...

Sandy has assured me 300hp and many seasons of use on the track ....can’t speak for Pug1off ...
