hey, I was just wondering would conversion hubs from a corsa b fit a nova? as I have a full redtop corsa here that im using for the engine for my nova, and would be very handy if I could use the hubs and big brake setup off the corsa.

cheers

I believe the front hubs and brakes will fit although if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me and that I'll be looking for another set of hubs for mine!

I'm pretty sure they have different bearing sizes, but I though all the geometry differences were in the bottom arm and balljoint and not on the hub.

I could be wrong but I'm sure the corsa hubs are 2mm bigger than a nova.

I've used Corsa hubs on a nova before and it tracked up OK. As long as you use both corsa and not one of each, as they are slightly different!

see iv broke a redtop corsa to use the engine for my nova and was hoping I could just set the hubs brakes and drives all into my nova from the corsa, would save me a lot of money if I could use these,

Yes that will work however you will need to use nova shafts. corsa shafts are longer.

the hub flanges are the same so why not just swap the callipers and the discs? save the confusion with shafts and use your nova hubs.

if its rears, they will bolt straight on.
