Bentley - Worn Hubs. --------------------- With the mileage of the cars becoming high the question of fitting oversize driving dogs without rebroaching the hubs is becoming unpracticable. Is it possible to supply the Kingsbury Depot with an .005" oversize broach for the hub splines, so that .005 oversize driving dogs can be fitted. At present the .003 oversize dogs are being used.
