eve gus mate ,

was speaking to a local lad and he mentioned group a hubs .

assuming he meant group a in the uprated stronger rally spec hubs ??

although i thought he may be on to something , i didnt thing they ever used mk 3s in group a rallying

but i recon alloy hubs would be sweet ?

maybey tony can clear that up too



p.s any more pics off the shell yet now its painted ??

The only seriously modified hub available was used on the RS1700T

"Can you buy them ?" - Well errm not off the shelf anymore No

Most of the race cars all had standard hubs with modified arms and linkages

If you really wanted alloy hubs today, then I guess something could be made to fit (Caterham style) but to me that isn't in keeping with the traditional group A styles of the early 80's

Depends on what wheel size you have but it shouldnt be too much of a problem to adapt

Initially work on a mixture of safety items, brakes, engine, suspension items, tyres, then geometery items, gear ratios, weight loss and finally bank statements

Doing things because they are "cool" is unfortunatly going the wrong way
