Hi all,

I purchased some mk3-5 alloy hubs, and separately some cortina uprights. They're pictured.





I tried fitting standard cortina bearings (mk3) and the hub body appears to be too long and the bearings don't pull home. Is there a different bearing I should be using?

Thanks

Steve

That's odd you should be able to use the std bearings unless you need spacers between hub and bearing.

Does that help describe the problem? The lump at the top is the cortina outer bearing I have fully home.....

That's really odd seems to me the lower bearing recess is too deep hence the bearing going deeper.

Do you have the std one to hand to measure?

I just think the bearings are absolutely incorrect. Should the bearing races sit on the widest diaper (shown in the hub pic) or the smaller one? Currently outer one only sits on the smallest dia.

Smallest one the bigger dia is for seal.
