Sierra rear hub/brakes photos or drawings anyone?
Has anyone got any good close up photos of the Sierra rear hub and brake setup? Or some drawings perhaps?
I'm not familiar with that area and need to start thinking about the design requirements for my mid-engined BEC. I'm going totally
lightweight so I'll be making up hubs and uprights from alloy. I'm gonna design it to use motorcycle discs and calipers but retain the
Sierra wheel bearings and driveshafts. So I'm looking for some images that I can start with before getting my hands on some actual Sierra
parts.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Fantastic stuff guys, cheers.
I think I can start to mock some CAD up from those now and fill in the final dimensions once I've got my parts.
I can use the photos to think about how to design my hubs to attach some bike discs/calipers.
Many thanks.

I've never been up close and personal with the rear end of a Sierra so I'm not 100% sure but I'm assuming that where the drive shaft
bolts to and the rest of the hub comes apart to fit it into the carrier? If someone could confirm that and maybe give me a photo of that then
that'd be cool.
Also can anyone tell me the PCD of the drive shaft bolt holes?
Sorry for the lack of technical terms, I'm a software engineer pretending to know how to build a car!
