Hi all.

After some info on doing a 5-stud conversion on my Nova GTE.

I know that I'll need some Cavalier V6 hatchback rear stub axles, but what about the front, considering I want to keep the gte shafts in there (possible XE conversion in the future). What are my options?
Can Cav V6 hubs be machined down, or do they use bigger cv's?
Alternativly, get the GTE hubs re-drilled for 5-stud?

Anyone know anyone with any spares?

Cheers

Ive asked this before & drawn a blank.

i reckon make up some custom shafts with big block outers for the 5 stud. Sleeving & welding shafts is a NO NO for big power I know, but on a 1.6 I'd say it would last. friend of mine did an XE with sleeved shafts & after loas of abuse they were fine.
