Brat Front Hubs

[Country Mike]

Now apologies if this is in the wrong section or i'm repeating someone else's thread but I've searched and not found anything or my search words are faulty causing the search engine not to chooch.

 

Right, the front hub on the Brat / Orv as an axle what is pressed into the hub and mine pulled out after a good hours worth of fun. I persuaded it back in with a small hammer and all seems well, but I bet it will happen again, so..... Is there any way too mod this with new hubs from another model, or is this an apparent weakness? It's actually a re-release with all these newly re-designed flaws off the old design and six months old.

You could find a Vintage set on EBAY.  They didn't seem to have that problem.

Or you could try J-Weld or a similar product.  There is a thread about that on here somewhere...

Or you could modify it with the Blackfoot set up.

I used Loctite 638 retaining compound, mine have not fallen out since.
