Hubs and shafts are the same. Braking system not completely.

Thanks for the reply buddy

When you say Braking system not completely, are you talking about calipers, rear drums? or is the servo also dif?
I'm buliding a mk4 escort van (brand new shell) with rs running gear but have a orion as a doner car,so i was going to take servo,hubs,drive shafts etc from that and put onto the rs turbo lup hoping all would fit?
At some point i'm doing rear disc conversion, but i'm told i need a two piece rear hub as the van is only single (bearing in drum)

Let's put it this way, all the Orion brake parts will fit the van nicely and give you the "two piece rear hub". The front discs and rear drums are in the Orion S1 size with the S2 having 20mm larger front discs and an inch larger rear drums.
