Cortina alloy hub from compbrake = not fit ?

Hi,
I,m French, sorry my english isn't perfect.
I have a home made seven and I want to use a cortina upright like this :



I want too to change the steel hubs and I buy a kit from compbrake, like this kit :
Ebay

But, it's not the same bearing :

Hub steel bearing :
Smallest have the reference LM11749 + Lm 11710 (dimension inside 17.46, outside 39.88)
For the big, I have the reference L44649+L44610 (dimension inside 26.99, outside 50.29

But compbrake use this bearing :
small inner Koyo H! /cap LM 11949 J
small outer Lm 11910 ( size 19.050 inner, 45.237 outer)
large inner Koyo Hi /cap 1988R
large outer 1922 ( inner 28.575, outer 57.150)

Where is the trouble, did comprake send me wrong hubs, is there a confusion between hubs for cortina mk3/4 and cortina mk1/2 ?

Please, help me
Regards
Yvan

the ones as advertised are for an Escort and are differant to the Cortina. I don't know if they could be adapted best bet is to contact the supplier and ask.

Yep, advert says they are to fit an escort. Which were slightly different hubs to the cortina items.

I think you have purchased hubs suitable for a Mk1 and Mk2 Escort. The seller has another Ebay auction for Cortina hubs and they are different (and more expensive).

I don't buy the kit via Ebay, I send him an email for the kit.

I ask in my order a kit for my cortina upright in black satin finish, and they send me hubs in alloy finish.

When I ask him bearing's size for cortina hubs, he confirm me the bigger size for the bearing, and for him, he send me a kit for cortina upright.

I post pics later

Can somebody confirm me wich type of upright I have.

From burton power, the bearing are
BRT252 : capri mk1/2/3 (not 3.0), cortina mk1/2, escort mk1/2rs
BRT635: capri mk1/2/3 3.0
BRT266 = cortina mk3/4/5 1.3/1.6/2.0/2.3, escort mk2 ( not rs).

So, ther is two sort of cortina bearing, not the same.
