Afternoon all.

Is there anywhere cheaper than Rally Design to get aluminium hubs to suit the Cortina from?

I did source a grasstrack company who did them once but they now only offer Viva hubs apparently!

Cheers,

TC

Be careful buying RD hubs.

I had a bad experience with a set purchased by a customer and given to me. The bearings just 'dropped' in literally. Loose as little boys willy in a street walkers money bank.

If purchasing from RD, ask them to make sure that the bearings are a 'press' fit.

Someone on here does hubs, just can't recall his name??

Cheers,
Nev.

Quick update - still not ordered. GB Engineering have stopped doing these and I've heard that folk have had bad experiences with:

• Rally Design
  
• HiSpec
  
• MNR
  

I bought mine off here, prob the guy nev nor I can remember, been on the car an age, still sound. Was it donut or sum mat like that ?

Tim,

Are you still Wotton under Edge way?

I've got a pair of alloy front hubs that came buried in some boxes of factory spares that I bought for the FW when Westfield were clearing their stores.

I can't vouch for them beyond saying that they look OK visually, and I don't even know for definite that they're Cortina, but they're sure as hell not FW and I can't think what else they might be, lurking in Westfield's store room!

They're free if you want them - give me a shout.

Jon,

Would it have been Deckman or Danozeman? The only names looked familiar in the photo archive starting with a D.

Nev.

Just checked. Deckman001, sent him a u2u.
