Swapping hubs?

[matt|H]

If I were to get hubs and discs from say a 2004 1.2 16v would they fit onto a 1999 1.2 8v?

Little project I want

Hubs would fit no probs but you'll need the front struts as well. A 1999 1.2 16v will have a 52mm bolt spacing and a strut bracket width of 23mm and a 2004 1.2 8v will have a 58mm bolt spacing and a strut bracket width of 27mm. So you'll need the lot

 

[matt|H]

Great that's what I wanted to hear I would have coilovers with 58mm boltspacing to go on with the new hubs too.

 

[matt|H]

Just a little bump as I'd like more confirmation this can be done before I go and get all the parts required.

yup fine

 

[matt|H]

Awesome, thanks a lot Can't wait now!

 

[Struggler]

yup fine

are you 100% about this fred??

taking hubs from a 1.4 16v ph2 (58mm)

they would go on a 1.2 8v ph1 (52mm) and the only thing that wouldnt line up, is the bolt spacing??

would also like 100% confimation on this.


edit: also i want to put them on a clio without abs?? would this pose a problem being that a 1.4 ph2 would have abs or can i retain the origional calipers??

 

[Fred@BTM]

as i said, fine

 

[Struggler]

sorry to go on,

but will the 1.2 8v brakes go on the larger hubs??

or will i need brakes from a 16v clio also??

 

[Fred@BTM]

you want to swap the lot and use the 269mm discs and calipers from the later model

 

[Struggler]

thanks

are all the subs with 58mm spacing the same??

and are the callipers the same through the 1.2,1.4,1.6 range??

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup (i meant 259mm discs)

 

[Struggler]

yup to both??

would have thought the 1.6's would have much bigger callipers than the 1.2's :S

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope, all 1.2 16v, 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v use the same brakes on the front

 

[Struggler]

schweet,

got some hubs on the way, ill look into get some callipers wednesday

bigger brakes and raceland coilies will work out cheaper than Vmax
