Ive got a set of hubs.

PM sent

Andy, you won't need new hoses as those calipers you've bought already come with them

and if you buy Stu's hubs, you've got everything you need

Andy

 

[andythom]

Yeah, realized they had hoses when i read the post.....can't wait now!!!

Been driving my dads A4 sport with the 312's i think and went back to my 239s ysterday and nearly went through a give way lol

Can't believe ECP want 17 quid +vat per hub!!

 

[andythom]

So am i right in thinking that the hubs i need are off of:

Mk3 ibiza cupra
mk2 ibiza 2.0 16v
mk cordy 2.0 16v
or golf g60 (4stud)

are there any others?

 

[andyj]

Mk2 Golf 1.8 16v hubs will also work I think

 

[andythom]

Can't find any scrappies near glasgow, or their phone numbers......

the nearest scrappie to me has a couple of mk3 golfs.....but thats it really...

any of the Audi hubs fit?

A3 or older cars?

 

[andythom]

Scrap the audi comment, most are 5 stud.....d'oh

 

[andyj]

Some early Mk3 GOlf had 4-stud, those would fit

or Vento......

 

[andythom]

Yip, got a list

Mk3 ibiza 1.8t cupra
mk2 ibiza 2.0 16v
mk2 cordy 2.0 16v
mk3 cordy 1.8t
Corrado golf (4stud) G60
mk2 golf 1.8 16v
mk3 golf gti 16v
mk3 golf vr6 2.8

The hunt commences!!!

 

[hopkinsgm]

NB!!! Early mk2 Golf 16v's (up to and including '89 spec) used 239 front discs - with a hub carrier that is broadly the same as a 1.0 or 1.4 Ibiza (not sure if the caliper carrier bolts on seperately on mk2 Golfs - it does on mk1 Golfs, mk1 Jettas, and mk1 & mk2 Scirocco's. Anyway...) and these are not the ones you want. Be warned. It's the hub carriers from a '90 or '91 spec mk2 Golf 16v you'd want for a 256mm or 280mm brake conversion.

Other than that, all the other options seem sensible. You'll probably pay more if they're advertised as "G60" or "Golf Rallye" ones though.

 

[andyj]

Good point G, I forgot about the early spec Mk2 Golf ones......

 

[F2 Stu]

Tdi's cam with 256's
ditto with the 1.6 Ibiza's and cordys
