my cossvaux hubs came from germany


Yup, they're the same ones as MTech use. I noticed that when you uploaded photos of your hubs the other day.

Hmmm, after reading the advert again, maybe it was just the shatfs they were bragging about making in the UK... Never mind.

Front hubs. Machine some 5 stud hubs down to fit onto the Corsa bearings. They will break though if you ever plan to tkae your car onto a track.


How do the hubs know you're on a track?
What if you disconnect the "am I on a track sensor" - will that fool it? Will a paperclip test work?

I suppose, because most people do thrash the shit outa thier cars on the road...

Hub designed to work with w ammount metal on bearing knuckle. You get x machined off the hub there is them y more stress/metal fatigue on the hub so when cornering hard the hub will break more easily because the knuckle on the hub is now z thick.
