Im thinking of converting my 1700 dti astra van to 5 stud i know that its easy to change the hubs and brakes but will the 5 stud hubs fit my drive shafts?

The 5 studs have rear discs aswell though so dont forget the compensators and extra brake gear for the back etc

I think Scotts one was a 'middle' one with 4 stud lol, mine was a very early one and that was 5.

Dont think there are any 5 stud drummed GM's in the UK/europe :(
