Debating getting some cav turbo wheels, and was wondering, will a mk3 astra van diesel 5 stud hub, fit a nova shaft?

Been told they do have the same smallblock outer?

Just so ill get a pair, and machine them down:)

i have some 5 stud hubs machined down to fit nova bearings actually - its just cvs/shafts you'll struggle with

none will fit small block outers - thats the problem

its either

a. use a bigblock gearbox
b. get some shafts custom made
c. weld your shafts cut/shut styleee
