ok my front hubs are standard 4 stud 1.2,
i just changed my engine till a 2ltr seh 8v from 1.2 8v
my front hubs only hold 2 wheel nuts, other 2 are rung, do i need upgraded front hubs or will standard hubs do?

You'll either want gsi with mk2 cav inner cvs, or custom shafts.
Or to get some big block hubs machined down.

std hubs will be fine, an seh is at best 130hp, and they'll take way more than that

aye rung as in 2 nuts wont tightin, they stay lose, i have shafts an all got but noticed i can only tightin 2 wheel nuts so i assume the other 2 holes are wrecked.
same on both sides, think some1 used an impact gun to force bolts in, thats why i cant get them tight

thanks mowgli

I won't let anyone tighten up car or van wheel nuts with a windy gun. they wreck the threads & you can't undo them with a wheelbrace.
