swapping out front discs

Post by dink »

i've bought alloy wheels for my t3
now before i go and get myself 2 lots of locking wheel nuts

will bay discs an hubs fit, i'm not sure whether they are early or late but some bay discs had a seperate hub with studs, so i'd end up with studs front and rear, as i need to buy new studs/ bolts anyway, so i figure only needing 1 set of locking nuts, is worth the hassle, oh an the fact that it'll be needing new discs anyway soon
i have to hand a set of the front hubs/ discs and bearings all new

my t3 has the same type of calipers that are found on bays, ie not the sliding type

Dink,
Couldn't you replace the front wheel retaining bolts with a set of SCREW-IN studs of the the correct length for your alloys? Simon Baxter or 'Fireturk' should be able to help. Fit them with thread lock (Loctite or similar)

the other part of it, is that soon i will need to replace the front discs anyway
i have these bay discs (new) with new bearings already in the hubs

so efectivly killing 3 birds with 1 stone
new discs, new bearings and bolts that'll work with 1 set of locking nuts
