Hey all
I know this is a long shot but does anyone happen to have or know where I can beg/borrow/steal drawings or plans for 289 Rudge spline hubs? I'm looking for original demensions.
If anybody knows of or has any info for them, I'd be greatful!

The 289 chassis manual has excellent cross section drawings of the front and rear hub assemblies, unfortuneately there are no dimensions given.

Are you planning on making one-piece hubs from scratch?

The splines are a British standard, shared by Austin Healy, MG and Triumph, and adapters are available from Moss, Dayton, etc. The only variation is the distance from the cone and the mounting flange. (I have specs on most of them, so if you give me some preferred dimensions, I might be able to come up with a close match.)

Yeah, looking to machine hubs from scratch. I have the cross section drawing from the chassis manual but as tnewland points out, there aren't any demensions. Rudge-Whitworth splines are easy as they are a standard but I would like get the other demensions so they could be reproduced.
strictlypersonl, do have something in plan form you could send me?
