I bit of a search turned up a few blanks.
a bit of a brake upgrade question...
http://www4.tpg.com.au/users/loats/technical/ma61/ fronthub.html
On this site it mentions one option of being able to run the later model crown hubs is to used pressed steel sleeves over the stub axle to increase the diameter to that of the crown inner wheel bearing diameter.
Now in an attempt to get big brakes and 5-stud onto my rt40 corona i am considering this.
Wondering what peoples opinions are.
Points i can think off are
1> very precision machining required, with interference fit on stubaxle.
2>hardness of sleeve must match that of the stub axle..
3> bearing area must be similar...
3>will the buggers come off...
4> is it dodgy
5> anyone done this before?
My ideal goals are, but i dont think this will effect the offset is...
>increase track such that i can run fwd offset rims to match a wider rear end (hilux)
>big brakes
so what opnions to you guys have?
Thanks
Logan
