BiTurbo228 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was wondering if you could fit Spitfire hubs into rotoflex rear vertical links.I've planning on running an alloy rotoflex CV-conversion rear suspension in my spitfire project, which is more than a little pricey. I was wondering if I could save some money by using the Spitfire hubs I've already got and not having to buy new ones.Also, I was wondering if you could use Spitfire rear drums with them as well. I know it sounds counter-intuitive going with smaller drums on a faster car, but the rears don't do all that much braking on a car the weight of a Spitfire and I'll have a saving in unsprung weight. Plus, I could use some of the money (hopefully) saved and buy some shiny alfin drums from Canleys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Totally different.What CV conversion? MGF hubs work with Nicks kit. And I think you can use spit backplates and drums, but unsure of spacings etc etc.Somebody used the front uprights from a metro for their CV conversion, and (IIRC) spit backplates/drums. Bit of DIY, but cheap I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Have a word with Nick, he may well have some hubs etc. Not to mention the spacers and so on you will be needing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
