6 stud to 5 stud front hubs

[intransit89]

as luke was at mine i decided to have a go and we found out the

5 stud hub fits on hub bar

only down side is the 6 stud brake carryer catches on the mk5 hub so might try it the other way round if its crap to brake if i just use the 5 stud hubs and carryers

and for the quicker way to get some alloys on till i get some adptors made for the carlton alloys see what i mean see this post viewtopic.php?f=13&t=47376 iam gona buy some land rover wellers and give luke 30.00 to redrill them to transit 160pcd for time bein

will have a little play tomorow swaps etc

the carrier does touch the hub but it still spins - didnt try it with the caliper in (while i was there) but looked ok

i think with new wheel bearings it would move the hub out enough to clear it - it was that close other than that just tickle the edge of the carrier up with an angle grinder should sort it

but all in all looks like for those with a 6 stud front swapping to 5 stud hubs and keeping the larger brake disk and caliper is possable

i'll update this when i try mine as ive got some 6 stud brakes to fit on my 5 stud hubs

but ........ well done rob

also the rear leaf spings on my mk4 190 i will leave on to keep the rear arse in air as the leaf springs on a 120 look to low but if you after the low look then put 80 springs in but bad news not much wait can go in

rob - keep this thread about the 6 to 5 stud front swap once we get a few pics etc. on it it will be a usefull guide for others doing the swap for years to come but if we set off talking about rear axles it'll just nd up getting lost in the forum

beat you to it rob

but i can conferm it all fits 5 stud hub with 6 stud brakes and calipers



mines got redrilled stud pattern so on a standard one you might need to clean up the back heads of the studs but it will be ok - you can see from here
