I just saw some pics of Ouverson's old style super 8 hubs. I had only ever known the new style. The difference being that the old style used an external drive flange like the stock rockwell hub and the new uses an internally splined hub with an internal drive flange like a dana 60. The new one has to be exponentially more expensive to produce than the old. I'm wondering if anyone has any theories as to why he switched? I'll post pics of the old style in the next post.
My theories include:
- There was some sort of durability issue, possibly shearing the drive flange bolts.
- He went to internal splines to accommodate his locking hubs.
