Hi,
As per title.
Running standard rear drum brakes, etc. on the rally nova (x14xe, 173hp) and fed up with rear wheel bearings giving trouble, brakes adjusting themselves off, etc.
Was wondering if the more modern Corsa C rear hubs/drums, etc. fit straight onto a nova beam. I believe they don't use the taperered bearing arrangement found on the Nova/Corsa B but use a sealed twin row bearing (similar to front wheel bearing so no faffing about getting bearing play set-up right and getting covered in grease every time.
Before i set off to the scrappy and possibly waste some money (again) anyone actually done this and knows for sure if it is a bolt-on job?
BTW before someone suggests it - don't really want to go rear disk route, etc. due to the hassle/cost and I don't actually need any more rear braking, just want something more reliable and easier to work at.
Also have a bias pedal box etc. so can adjust balance, etc.
