Ford 5640


Recommended Posts

I know the Imber model is superb but the front wheels niggled a wee bit so had a play with the  5640 and removed part of the hub, they still turn but will not have the bearing life of the original.  :)

Was it easy to do ?

How are the wheels fixed onto the axles

Not too difficult, the wheel is held on by a steel knurled pin which grips a hole in the stub axle - tight, but pulls off. The blue 'hubcap covers the pin's head.  :)

Well, that's your warranty now void! :laugh: is there any wobble/slack now having reduced the support? In appearance it is an improvement of course :)

I guess Imber won't take them back now.  :D By carefully pushing the pin back in, the wobble can be lost without stopping the wheel from turning.
