Would you not be best phoning vauxhall and trying to find out the measurements of the hub an thing then try to compare it with the ones from a nova? As in the bit that sits in in bearing if vaux can give you a figure you could work from that?.

lol, good luck in trying them to do that lol

there is a group buy i think for small block inners, and large block outers, so you cna 5 stud

[LEWI007]

Wheres the group buy ?

Still might be cheaper doing it this way, the zafira comes with 5 stud rear drums, and 5 stud front hubs, all smallblock, so im thinking it should just be straight swap

If you can get the zaffy bits cheap lewi id say give it a go mate no harm in trying is there.

[LEWI007]

Yeah, if i manage to find a zafira ill buy all the crap off the front, and the rear drum, and ill try each on the nova first, if they fit ill buy the other side, if they dont, well it was worth a try.

When you get the drum tho lewi get everything including the hub and backplate you never know it may bolt straight up.

[LEWI007]

Yeah ill just buy everything and then see what i need and dont need.

This will be great if it actually works lol

It may be mate it may push more small blockers to 5stud theres if its easy done.

[General Baxter]

****ing hell, the drums are easy, drill and tap them lol

[mowgli]

the zafira stuff is just astra anyway, so it will most likely be 'big block' size

[General Baxter]

there 'is' a 5 stud small block cv hub for a zefira but i have no idea which one it is lol

[LEWI007]

If it works i might not say anything, dont want everybody rollin on turbo rims lol

Been to one scrappy so far, no zafiras :(

[mowgli]

couldnt you get nova rear hubs drilled and tapped by a decent engineering shop?
