[Gaz_]

What is it? Dont want no guessing, so only those in the know!!! Cheers

54mm

 

[Gaz_]

Cheers, this site is mint, but f**k me there is some conflicting info!!!

Thread the other day said 58.......

 

[f0xy]

52mm and 58mm are only used on non sport hubs afaik

all the 172 hubs ive had (ph1 and ph2) have been 54mm

182 Cup/Trophy are 60mm IIRC

 

[DannyR]

58mm on the Ph1 hubs, fairly sure!

 

[f0xy]

Well I'm running 54mm coilovers on hubs I removed from 172 Ph1, lol

Got spares that have been machined down for my car also, one from a Cup and one from a 172 FF....both 54mm too

 

[Gaz_]

see, ffs!!!!

I know cup-packed are 60mm for sure, just cant remember 172 ones. Might be a purchase in the pipeline but i need to know 100%

 

[172Ben]

Im sure there 58mm

 

[f0xy]

LOL, I really cant be arsed going getting the hubs and a set of verniers to get pics.

I will just remain confident that what hubs ive personally had and used from 172s have been what ive said above, and let you believe what info you want lol!

 

[Gaz_]

lol! I think its 54mm too.....

Got some H&R's in the shed, so i'll measure them when i get home. Fooking CS!

 

[172Ben]

Yeh, 54mm after doing abit of searching

:hail: foxy

 

[f0xy]

Lol^


Just nipped out and got some pics...

172 Ph1, removed from X Reg/2000 model...

172 Ph2 FF, removed from 52 Plate model...

 

[Gaz_]

I wanted verniers tbh

Cheers

 

[f0xy]

Could only find a WHSmith shatterproof ruler, lol.

AFAIK the only model that is different on the 1*2s is the trophy, as well as possibly some variation of the 182, which are 60mm...but considering the thread was 172s, there you go

 

[DannyR]

OOO, well done f0xy

 

[mikemillar89]

Mine are 58mm, from a ph1 172.

 

[f0xy]

There you go then....the answer is unknown!

Out of the 7 hubs Ive got (with two on the car) they are all 54mm, so who knows!

 

[mikemillar89]

and my old 1.2 had 58mm spacing, just with smaller slots m12 bolts to the m14 of the ph1. Renault= Random.

 

[DannyR]

Lol, I was fairly sure mine were 58mm too!

Good old Renault with no consistency!

 

[f0xy]

M14 bolt is sport models yeah.

M12 bolt hole was all non sport (1.2/1.4/1.5/1.6), which is the same bolt size as a Mk1 Valver/Williams.

AFAIK from reading, and from dialogys/tech notes, all non-sports were either 52mm or 58mm........but oddly the Mk1 Valver/Williams were the same hub (use same caliper/disk/bearing) with 54mm spacing, not 52mm or 58mm.

 

[Whiteley]

I'd like to see photos with these claims of 58mm tbh. Mine are 54mm, from a 172 Cup; the same as ALL 172's.

Edit. It's actually wound me up reading this thread :banghead:

 

[Gaz_]

Tis indeed 54, checked before. How can some be 58mm....................... goons

 

[172Ben]

Stupid people

 

[Whiteley]

Im sure there 58mm

Tis indeed 54, checked before

Stupid people

Yep...

Edit. Yes I did see the use of the old favourite 'get out clause wink'.

 

[DannyR]

Manufacturers sell coilovers advertised as 58mm for the Ph1 though :s

 

[Gaz_]

proof or it never happened........... Sure you dont mean Mk1

 

[f0xy]

Mk1 valver/williams is 54mm LOL.

 

[DannyR]

proof or it never happened........... Sure you dont mean Mk1

No, I own a Ph1

 

[Gaz_]

proof of your 58mm bolts then..........?
