Re: EarlyWarnHubs

If you are talking of the hubs I think of as the cylindrical bodies, I
can think of only one disadvantage with them.  The later hubs with the
tapered bodies are spring loaded so that you can turn the knob to engage
them and if the splines aren't aligned, they will snap in when the
vehicle moves a bit.  With the older hubs, you may have to rock the
vehicle to get them to engage.  I don't know of any other advantages or
disadvantages.  Parts for these could be harder to find since they went
out of production about 30 years ago.
