Right on the kit car were using 4 stud sierra rear hubs, with the plug in drive shafts.

Were looking to change these to 5 stud, still retianing the plug in shafts and the same ZF adjustable slip diff.

Is this possible?

Ps we have the drum setup now but going to the 5 stud will be cossie rear discs, but we need 5 stud hubs with the plug in shafts!


Sorry if this in the wrong forum but wanted to generate interest and also didnt know which one to put it into

it is possible - you need to get the rear hubs from a Granada Cosworth - that way you will have 5 stud hubs, and vented rear disks - just like 4x4 cossie ones

 

dont know finchy but and TTT anyway

 

Yeh we know about the granada cosworth ones but there the bolt on driveshafts, and we need the plug in ones if possible!


hello james hows things

 

PM Flashpoint, he helped do a 5 stud conversion on an RST S2 for some dude in the Surrey group if you can do it on that, anythings possible

 

Thankyou, have PM him

 

you'll not be able to use the slide in joints at the rear and have discs - but the old 2 litre ghia granadas upto 1990 had the slide in joints with drums at the back and 5 stud fittings

 

Ah damn it,
Will be a wilwood setup disc wise on the back, but really need to retain the plug in shafts as its specific to the diff,

do people not machine them out and use different cv's etc?

 

thats what yer man Flashpoint did

He's probably busy out stealing peoples WIFI connections somewhere

 

Good good, I use the astra shafts and cvs on my corsa but the corsa hubs!

I was sure you could do the same with fords
