Do you really mean, big radius of gyration?  Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

the scrub radius in slightly less than a standaerd mini setup, these hubs are based around the metro and has increased king pin angle, thus effextively reducing the said radii.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Dennis, the dismissal of the metro uprights was usually by those who new very little on the subject and listerned to others with even less, |

i had all this completely wrong in my mind , i measured the metro wheel at something like 46mm inset ,so thought the hub must be much more outset than the mini ones ,and the 46mm inset brought the scrub back down again .i must do a bit of research .
