BMT 984 hard anodised aluminium front axles

BMT have introduced a set of hard-anodised aluminium front wheel axles for the 984 on-road car. The 7075 alloy wheel axle shafts are a direct replacement for the stock parts and they are designed to scrub both unsprung weight and rotational mass, resulting in improved suspension efficiency and quicker spool-up. Additional machining further scrubs weight and different sets of cross pin holes allow to use a fresh pair of holes once the actual start to show signs of wear, improving the lifespan of the parts.
