Title: PA Motorsport upgraded stub axles?
Post by: Richard48Y on Friday,March 01, 2024, 06:39:53 PM

Found these by accident, http://www.pamotorsport.com/for_sale/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=279&virtuemart_category_id=36&Itemid=109 (http://www.pamotorsport.com/for_sale/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=279&virtuemart_category_id=36&Itemid=109)
Trying to retain the original Europa engineering within reason.
Anyone have experience with them?
I have asked for a price and availability.
Also assume S1 and S2 would be the same.

I bought a set expecting my loctite solution to be short term so haven’t fitted them yet, mine are sided with left and right hand threads

What do they cost?

Beside the left hand thread on one side, the design looks the same. If so, the loctite should still be required?

Looking at the picture the journal for the outer bearing looks wider than stock. On stock axles the outer bearing rides partly on the splines- not good.
S2Zetec54 - can you confirm if the PA axles have a wider bearing journal?

He machined the stub axles to accept the 30mm ID bearing on both inner and outer for me. Peter Alexander Is a very nice chap…very accommodating. Always planned to go and visit him.

They were between £650 and £700 back in 2021 from memory

…any help? I wasn't going to loctite them as they should be self tightening or that was my plane .i seem to remember it would need some mighty torque and therefore some well designed specially designed spacers. Current plan is to fit these when I fit Richard’s rear disc kit

Just had an outstanding day at Llandow Race Circuit thrashing around the circuit….boy did she behave well…very pleased with the day

Standard stubs are £324 each.
So £700 for a pair would not be bad at all, but I suppose you meant each.  :headbanger:
Hoping the vendor will reply soon.
