Knock off hubs for Vette suspension?
Not bolt on adapters, I need true hubs with the pin drives. ERA makes them for their GT-40 ,which uses C-4 cartrige style bearings, but they don't sell parts. A coupla years ago there was a mention of an independant builder in N C (?) that made them. any help out there?

Bruce,
I know the Aurora cobras used vette hubs in the rear. Those cars had knockoffs. Not sure if they used an adapter or not. Have you tried a Vette forum? Steve:cool: |
mr bruce,
did you think about making them? the other day I calculated a bolt-on version, as the TRIGO. it was quite affordable. soon I make a plan to have one made to fit my existing (local south-african) front upright. Contemporary used to make the rear one to fit the XJ axle from one piece. their adapters and wheels sold for USD 4500 in the early 90s. Dom |
Bruce,
Are you sure ERA doesn't sell parts? I buy parts from them all the time....not hubs, mind you, but they do sell stuff. Just call Peter P. |
My Aurora has knock off Dayton wire wheels that use a bolt on adapter that fits both the Corvette rear hub and the Ford front hub. The bolt on adapter looks like a bevel gear and the Dayton wheel has gear teeth that interlock with the hub teeth. Much stronger than pins or splines. I don't reccomend them - heavy - and knock offs are always more trouble than lugs.
