Im intending to use the MK "book" Wishbones, and wondering which hub to use?

Taking into acount that I have a set of Cosworth disks and callipers.

Many thanks. Dyl

Why not use sierra hubs, you need an adaptor for the strut hole. You can buy these but from what ive seen so far theyre crap quality. Use 4x4 sierra hubs, they have bigger disks/calipers, think they are the same size as cossie(don't quote me on this), definately bigger than standard sierra.

[pedant] Why would you want to use the bigger brake discs and calipers? The weight of a Locost would probably amount to one quarter of the weight of a fully laden Sierra, probably even less. IMO you will have more than adequate stopping power with standard non-vented discs which are easier to come by and save a ruck of weight too![/pedant]

The reason i'm gonna use Cosworth disks and callipers is because i've been given them, Never look a gift horse and so on!

Plus they should look amazing under a set of 15"!

Would the sierra hub fit on the book wishbones?

Ideal thing would be to sell the cosworth stuff and buy recon cortina calipers and discs. The cosworth stuff was not ideal the first time you asked, and they are not ideal now.

You've already been told that you will need an adaptor to use the sierra hubs, in which case book wishbones will be too long
