Love this.
Copy, but know why and improve.
Do it with dignity.

Hi Karl?
The collets (spacers) may well have been on your car but they are not OE, we designed them and they come from an early Spitfire kit.
Nothing was mentioned about copyright as far as I can see?
We made the new ones in 7068 which is the highest specification aluminium alloy available, about 2/3 the weight of Ti and depending upon which gradeof Ti you have used possibly stronger, not that this matters so much as they act mainly in compression.
The components were swaped over when the new custom made bearings were introduced about five years ago.

Was it really worth digging a thread over a week old just to say that?
