De Ranged Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Im off work at the moment (carpell tunnel surgery) so I'm sorting a disk conversion for my mates series front axle... I've got a viable combo of caliper and disk, the disk will require a bit of machining tho (on a slightly comical note both are from sports cars) Anyway I've struck an interesting problem with the axle (from a SII ute) The hubs are different left to right This is the right one (which I'd like to find another of) Made by Leys (there name is cast into the back of it), its 15mm thick with the studs rececessed in on the back (inside) face.... ideal for me to work with as its a nice flat mounting face for the disk spacer/adapter to bolt to This is the Left hand side Again made by Leys as you can see but the backside (inside) face is patterned and the studs are proud and to top it off the flange is thinner so I don't want to machine a face on this if I can avoid it Can anyone give me any information on the first one the right hand side one, I'm guessing they are from different series or maybe a suffix change Oh and I'll post up the details on the conversion for those interested when I'm finished, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyN Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Judging by the press in wheel studs, I'd say they the first was from a Series 3 and the second was SIIA (or earlier) with the earlier screw in studs replaced with the later pressed in type.

steve b Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yep I'd agree that recess is there to stake the threaded studs on series 1 /2 /2a , there is a part no on the second hub , anything on the first one ? cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Ive got a set of the flush ones on tradme at the moment, they were off a Skippy so a 71 IIa. The earlier ones had smaller studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
