got abit of a dilemma, erm sold my nova shell and left it rolling, so the hubs were still on the shell, i took and kept the driveshafts, but i didn't realise they were the bigger type outer cv joints so therefore the bigger type hub was left on the car and now i am in need of new hubs, can i just use cavalier sri 4 stud hubs? and press them in to the nova hub casing? or do i need speacil ones from chris astley? thanks

You'd have to machine the hubs down to fit the nova wheel bearing or machine the hub carrier out to take the group A/ golf syncro bearing and cav hub IIRC.
