    Milly is right, if you're using Audi 80 bearings then it's the standard Astra hubs, these are an off the shelf item with a bit turned off the back of them I believe.

    There might be some part numbers in my thread somewhere.

    With the astra hubs you still need to change a little on the hubs, otherwise it will be 4mm offset, and the brake will not fit.

    Here this was the unmachined, and after that made the modification.
