[DeTomaso] Axle Nut torque

[Ken Green]

If it ever becomes real, there will be a modern cartridge bearing/billet carrier option.  The shop actually had a billet carrier designed to bolt up cartridge bearings, but it was sized for small solid rotors because the guy I talked to originally thought that was what we needed.  Right or wrong, I convinced the guy actually making the parts that the carriers should allow room for a 1.25 thick rotor.  He's had a CNC programmer at his shop the last two Saturdays and he thinks they will have something soon.  I think it will be worth waiting for.

  Thats if you are using the stock (or stock-like) spacer between the bearing
inner races. If you go to tapered bearings, you can eliminate the spacer
and go with 25 ft-lbs plus alternative anti-rotation treatment of the nuts.

Lots. 400 ft/lbs or thereabouts. I recall that there was some early
printed guidance saying 275 ft/lbs and this was superceded by the higher
number,
but I can't find any evidence of that?
