    Description

    Manufactured By HO Reproductions, a mirror image copy of the original Aurora Vibrator and ThunderJet stock small tire raised rim hubs, as found on all of the Vibes, and early T-Jets.  Dimensionaly identical to the originals, known as Type “C” hubs, part #8316 (#1350-16)
    316 316 1350-16)
    831 (#135016)
    8316 (#1350-16)
    These were replaced with the Flatback hubs as stock ran out after T-Jets were introduced.
    These are NOT RESIN copies, they are Injection Molded using the same Polystyrene plastic material that Aurora used to make theirs, then Vacuum Chrome Plated for a show car chrome finish.
    Unlike the Aurora hubs, these hubs are perfectly round, and the axle hole is molded with the hub, not drilled. It is perfect dead center. No wobble on your runners, and a like new finish for your display models. Anyone who has tried to find 4 good round and true originals for their runner will attest to the fact that it's not easy to do.
    Axle hole is molded at .060 to fit Vibe axles. T-jet axles run .064 to .068. One thing that will have to be done before mounting to a T-Jet, is hand twist a drill thru the axle hole to clean it out. A #52 bit works best. A full set of instructions will be sent with your purchase.
    I guarantee your satisfaction! 100% Made in the USA! We measured the original hubs, we made the mold, picked the plastic, we did the Quality Control.  I personally ran these parts when they were being molded here in Rochester, NY. Chrome plated in Illinois.
    RACER TRUE, NO RESIN, NO CHINESE JUNK!
    PLEASE NOTE:
    You are buying a set of Four (4) hubs only. The Chaparral and Mustang are
    NOT INCLUDED
    . They are for the picture display, not part of the auction.
    An interesting side note, according to http://herocomm.com , these hubs were also used as the control knobs and jeweled bezels on the communicators and tricorders used in the 1960’s Star Trek series.
