Sierra Cosworth front hubs???? very confused...
I am building a haynes roadster and bought some Sierra cosworth 4x4 front hubs. Its just occured to me that because there is no shaft going through
the bearing, what is actually holding the wheel bearing and wheel nuts part to the hub???? absolutely nothing. As its not front wheel drive, what
are my options? Can I fit a nut and bolt through the center or do I have to buy a joint with spline shaft to go through with the hub nut?
Cheers...

Don't mince about, get a cheap pair of Sierra ones.
You may even get a free pair with a wanted add on here.

The only way you could do it is with a joint, but that's all extra weight and messing about.
Get a pair of standard ones and be done with it.

Also the top and bottom joints are different and will not fit standard haynes stuff

The Ginetta G32 uses Fiesta front uprights and instead of the drive shaft it just has a couple of bits of steel to close the oil seals and a
1/2" UNF bolt to hold the assembly together.

^^ what he said
you can make 4x4 hubs work like the fiesta hubs above (I've seen folk use a cut down front driveshaft to solve the problem)
but off the shelf wishbones etc are made to fit standard sierra uprights - not 4x4 or cossie 
cosworth 2wd and granada uprights are also similar but different enough that they also won't bolt on without similar modifications
so you really want the standard (non-cossie) 2wd sierra ones, these ones come in 2 flavours - with or without ABS - but you can use either without any
issues
