i wouldn't go cheap on this one part. all it takes is a miniscule of play which are often found on the hex type collars to spoil your steering feel which can be annoying. if there is any play, it will only get worse.

Lifeline here... im surprise Summit cares them? i thought they were more of a hotrod supplier. I had to order mine from the UK back in the 90's. they arent cheap but you get what you pay for.

Summit carries some vintage road racing stuff. Bought some TB15's from them.

On the Lifeline, does the part where the wheel is bolted to the 6 little arms have threads or are they threadless and you have to use washers and nuts? Little washers and nuts are annoying and seem pointless.
