terribletaj Posted August 10, 2017 Report Posted August 10, 2017 In desperate need of a pair of rs2000/capri cast hubs, my alloy hubs have been machined wrong and don't fit so want some genuine cast hubs. Thanks
terribletaj Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Posted August 10, 2017 The inner larger bearing seat is not deep enough in the hub so the hub doesn't sit in the correct place causing the disc to hit the inside of the calliper. I tried a friends cast hub, it fits fine on my strut and my alloy hub sits wrong on he's strut too so I know its the hub causing the problem. I contacted the manufacture and they said they couldn't re machine them, it seems a waste to just throw them away but I don't know anyone who could sort them, so I was after standard hubs so at least I know it will fit fine.
colr6 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Posted August 10, 2017 If you know how much needs taking off surely there must be a machine shop where you are ? Got to be a better solution and as you say not wasting good hubs. Can't see it costing a great deal.
terribletaj Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Posted August 10, 2017 Yes I have been refunded for the hubs, the supplier said I could keep them. 1
terribletaj Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Posted August 10, 2017 Yes there's a machine shop local and I was going to take them there next week and see what they think, the manufacture said they couldn't machine them as they wouldn't be able to get it 100% true again. I can measure them and find out how much needs machining, it measures around 1.8-2mm out so doesn't need much taken out of it.
