Hello

 

 Looking at fitting much larger brakes to the front of an LH, need some hubs to suit a slip on disc....

 

I know UPC and hoppers and MSF make a hub..... but i was wondering what yanky cars use the same hub, bearings, stub dimensions, if there is a compatable US car, there must be a lot of products produced on that side of the world that would suit, anyone got any insight into this ?

 

Need a hub to fit on torana stub which is HQ pattern for a disc with a 71.5mm locator....

 

Cheers

Why would you shop OS for an item readily available locally ?

Or an item you could have spun up locally to exact requirements ?

i made my own hubs ....as what Datto said

Expense and time..... Certain people in oz take months to reply to an email let alone deliver a correct product.

True ......if you want it done right some times you have to do it your self

Think you might be talking to the wrong engineering shops

Dazza (ozyozyozy) has used hi-speed engineering and rates them... local and helpful apparently

 

If your time is worth no money you could try find something ex US... camaros and such use the same bearings

My 2 bob.
I use msf big bearing hubs, although been ok, he was a bit of a pain to deal with and the quality could be better, i have had my mate at high speed sort some issues with them.

If you want something good your going to have to pay for it, that is what your up againest, very rarely does someone find the golden ticket item.
When your talking adding big brakes, specific discs, things get messy and maching will be required.
That dimension for the centre hub may become irelevant by the end of the exercise.

When you want machining done on your car, best speaking to machinists that are car guys, they have a better understanding of what you may want.

Savy motorsport make some great gear, many years of experience.
High speed can make hubs, car stuff is not there main stay of the business, due to it not been a mass run, you will have to wait, will cost but give them all the parts and info and they do an awesome job, they are car guys at heart, build and race there own stuff.

If you want it cheap and simple fit the upc hubs.
