are the hub flanges machined down or the carriers machined out??
if the carriers are machined out then get them machined out to the cav bearing. if you got flange machined dowm use standard bearing

no you will need to get them machined down to fit the hub and standard nova bearing (pikey way)
or get the carrier machined out to take the cav bearing and that flange.
heard bad things about the m-tech ones sheering off....
M-tech ones in the conversion fitting kits, just fit standard bearings.

there not m-tec ones , just thought they went in no problem ? wat if i use corsa hub carriers ?
let_nova
24-08-09, 10:08 PM
same situation pal.
what make?
corsa carriers are the same as nova carriers
If there M tech, they use standard hubs and bearings
jayme taylor
24-08-09, 10:11 PM
so you gotta machine down the hubs or carriers either way ?
We're getting confused here, Jayme, what carriers are you using? nova? And what hubs are you using?
let_nova
24-08-09, 10:16 PM
right if there not using m tec you either need to get the hub flange machined down to the size of the nova bearing
or
you need to got the hub carrier machined out to take the bigger bearing and flange.
Dont use M-tech ones tho, they break quicker than.. A oap's hip.

hold on a little bit longer lol , we will get there in the end!!!:thumb:
So you've bought machined down hubs yes? They fit std nova bearings.
They're not m-tech ones fella, they look like chris astley ones. M-tech ones have the logo stamped in the face, the driveshafts also have a large weight peice on the long shaft.
Just press them into STANDARD nova bearings.

lol Id thought it'd be near impossible to get the setup done the conventional way, its the price i was willing to pay for a drop in installation, glad i didn't win as a few have popped up on here over the last couple of days

I need them ! i did buy some 22 spine with big cv's , when i got them they werent 22 spine and did they fook have big cv's fitted , still waiting for my money also
jayme, if you had already bought them, why dont you just wait till they arrive in the post.
and then get a nova bearing adn see if it fits. if yes, ~WIN, if no FAIL
simples

is this a different set? or the ones of ebay? as novaboz is selling some td shafts
Lol, i just bought a brand new complete astley fitting kit for £100!
Have you guys looked around for these bits? You can get them so cheaply.
Hubs ready to fit, £42.
http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=49&osCsid=41dfb8cccac33dca5512a8519d7a8425
Shafts to fit said hubs, £73.
http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=785
Anything over 200 for shafts and hubs is a joke.

22spilne shafts wont have "big block cvs" they have cav mk2 stuff, which is still small block but with a big block end, and std nova outer fit on it.
Jon_nova1
24-08-09, 10:56 PM
then the price for 4 cv joints
http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?products_id=71
so the maths says...
2x hubs £84
2x shafts £146
4x cv joints (assume the inner and outer are around the same for arguments sake) £188
total is £418
You can get cvs from a motor factor, nova ones are about 15 each, cav ones are about 20ish.
The cvs on the site you've linked to are the ones needed when running spline shafts, you wouldn't use these is runner machined hubs.
Shafts are sold as a pair.

He said they already had 1600 cav inners fitted and nova outers ! but they didnt !:mad:

no, shafts are seperate
"Price is per shaft, please state when ordering if its a pair of if single shaft is ordered which one you need."
Second hand big block astra/cav shafts can be bought for peanuts of ebay. just swap the inner and outer joints to your nova conversion shafts, simples!
jayme taylor
24-08-09, 11:00 PM
outers did !

You cant use astra/cav shafts on a nova is thats what you mean...

yeah you can use the cv's off them on the items you linked to chris astley. (sorry didn't explain that very clearly):)

Oh sorry thought it was a pair.
outers did !
Did you remove the inner cv and count the splines? As a lot of "cav mk2 1.6" cvs are wrong, all the ones my work list aren't right...

Ah yeah, sorry thought for a sec you ment use the shaft.
