AUTOMATIC FREE-WHEELING HUBS series 3

If I remember right, these were available for Series I's, but they don't work when reversing, so for most purposes they were pretty useless. They may well be of interest to a collector though!

Do they look like this?

Cos if they do, I've got two sets myself, and absolutly no information at all. I can't find out who made them or anything, as there are no identifying marks, and nobody I've spoken to seems to have the faintest idea about them.

However, I find them to be very good, and the internals are very simple design, yet sturdy. Certainly saves having to get out and lock them if you've forgotten. If you're worried about how they come apart, I could photograph my other set, which are not attached to a car at the moment.

Yes they do look very much like the ones i got, the other photo would help greatly.

As for reversing with the hubs I have had no problems and work just fine forwards or backwards.

I'll hoik them out of the garage and take some pics, gimme a couple of days, I'm working till dark at the moment.

This is the original Mayflower Automotive Products auto hub - sister of the manual one that had the wheel-nut sized bolt head to operate it.

I've got a leaflet which I'll Acrobat and send to you.

I'd appreciate a copy as well, thanks
