Surely thats not a Cortina hub is it?
I thought they had a forged spindle/stub axle arrangement, rather a bolt on flange type?

Tis a cortina hub. One flange is for the brake disc to bolt to, the other has the wheel studs in. Then fits over the stub axle on the upright

tis a bugger if you ever have to change discs as you have to take the hub off the spindle first...

Ned,
I found it really easy to remove the hub from the stub shaft when I rebuilt my uprights. In fact the only tools I needed was a screwdriver to lever
off the hub cap and a pair of pliers to remove the split pin. Everything else just came off by hand!.
I actually quite like the design of having the disc held on separately to the wheel as it helps to avoid the hassles of those damned countersunk
screws which you get on most disc braked cars which are usually chewed to pieces, sheared off or missing! It also made me extremely meticulous about
the flatness of the hub and disc surfaces when I bolted them together and I have perfectly true discs as a result (checked with a dial gauge).
Those are very nice alloy hubs by the way, if I hadn't already rebuilt my steel ones then I'd have a pair for sure!
Cheers,
Craig.

Cheers ned, i have a spare set other than those on test, I'll bring them to next meet for peeps to drool over
Oh yeah, nearly forgot,, got the prices sorted for the bearings,,,,,,,,,Timken bearings will be £11.00 per hub, fitted. This price also includes the
rubber seal, but NO grease, you'll have to do the messy part yourselves
So that's £47.50 +£11.00 =£58.50 Each Hub with bearings fitted
Obviously I recommend to all that I get the bearings fitted in the workshop, as this will avoid any problems arising from bearings not being fitted
correctly, if hubs are bought 'bare' then 'no responsibility will be taken by the manufacturer for damage caused by others
installing their own bearings'

Just to let people know, testing is now taking place, with no concerns to report after first couple of drives, will keep you all updated via these
posts as there are too many u2u's to send other wise

Yep, I think so as well, oh and at least Nobody else will have to pay the £45 for the bearings that I had to pay for the test car !! Timken
ain't cheap, well not if you buy them yourselves anyway !!
Testing is still going on, no probs to report

have you got the part numbers for the Timken bearings?
As I work for Timken I can see what I can do. I don't work for the bearing division but I can see if I can have a word in an appropriate ear!

As soon as the tester lets me 
Am Very sorry for the delay in getting these hubs for sale, I didn't realise how extensive the testing process needed to be, Have now been told
testing has endured over 400 miles , a few more trips out and final inspection to go
With this news I can go back to the cnc shop and ask for a quicker turnaround with with prodution

Jason,
Can you pls let me know the spec numbers of the bearings and the distance apart when they're fitted? I need to check that the spindles I have
will be compatible..... I have heard there are some differences between your Cortina's and the ones we got here in Oz....
Cheers,
Tim
