Yeah as Keith says there custom made, basically an untouched 16v flange, with i think its a sherpa van bearing and then hub is machined out and a new retaining piece to hold them in. Karl ran them for about a year and when we took them off there was no play in them at all!!
Made some more progress today on the car, its on it's wheels and it's been rolled outside for the first time in about 4 years!! Got the doors back on and started putting the vinal on so i can put all the windows in and build the doors up. Still a bit more wiring to do which will hopefully get sorted next weekend. Need to get the fueling side for things finished and finish plumbing the brakes in and sorting the handbrake cables out... Which is a nightmare as i keep on getting the wrong cables!! Even though i wrote down the part numbers when i originally did the rear disk conversion. Feels like i'm getting somewhere now though.
just been on the site, cars looking realy nice Andy! bet you cant wait to have it complete!
Andy, if you work out which cables you need for the rear disks can you let me know as i've bought the wrong cables several times now and mines still not right!!Quote:

When i sorted mine, you just order the nova long cable, and a cavalier drum brakes short cable.Quote:

There are two different lengths of Nova long cable as on some cars the long cable ran to the drivers side rear wheel and on others it went to the passenger side rear wheel? Which side does the long cable on yours go to?Quote:
