You get the 5 stud hubs machined down to fit inside nova bearings. Burgo posted a thread on this recently, and I think you need to use big block shafts/cv's aswell.

Cos 5 stud is cool !!

I had my steering knuckles machined out to accept the bigger Group A bearings, then the actual 5 stud hub needs a small amount of machining to clear the circlip on the inside. To get them to fit the std Nova bearings you've gotta machine a hell of a lot off them ... to much for my liking, thats how i done mine at first then thought they looked abit weak so then redone them properly !!

Rear was done using V6 Vectra stubs axles ect ... pretty much the same as doing a normal rear disc conversion.

Job done !!

oh sh*t, i was supposed to stay quiet about that till he turned up:(

please disregard that last commentlol

ok ill admit for the keen eye when you see 5 stud you think there must be something decent under the bonnet and its got 5 studs to stop the wheels being sheared off lol
