    Those uprights look simple enough to make simps what not find a fab place and ask for a set to your spec with 4x100?

    If i'm honest i would hunt some measurements and have a go myself!

    Making them had crossed my mind but they are so cheap to buy. I need to speak to firm and find out how big that opening is, I'm guessing it won't be big enough but there's room there to open it out.

    The upright isn't the problem, its the hub assembly really.

    It all goes together like so...






    I want to incorporate like what Phillip has used on his corsa which is all available off the shelf...

    if your worried about running 4 x 100, then dont worry and run ford wheels.

    you might think your being a tratior etc to vauxhall. but while researching my project, ford wheels are so much easier and cheaper to come across, then a set of 4 x 100 wheels

    IMO go ford for wheels.

    originally for the chevette i was going to run a english rear axle of a cortina, but the manta one came up cheap, and close, so im now running that. other wise i was going to convert the fronts to ford PDC and run ford wheels

    It has crossed my mind but I also know its a problem I can overcome. I also love the ass off the speedline mistrals I've got to go on it.

    , if you are making your whole suspension/hub set up a pain, because of the wheels you already have, then your crazy .

    I can see were both you and BMW are coming from - the ford stuff would be easier but if your prepared to go to the effort to fix vaux stuff then crack on. The tube incorp bearing idea looks simple enough to achieve.

    Nice update, just confirms your crazy, but also cleaver (or is that lucky?) as that looks like it all lines up way too good, good luck with sorting the rear suspension mate, looks awesome.
