5 stud front hub conversion for narrowtrack cars (G60, 8V, 16V) and brakes to match

[Purple Tom 0]

Hi,

 

After doing the VR6 and widetrack conversion on LaserMarks 16V I'm left with loads of bits lying around. Daves16V used to own the car before Mark, and Dave carried out a 5-stud conversion on the vehicle which took him quite a lot of time and effort.

The results are here

 

As the car is now widetrack, with VR6 running gear, the original 5-stud conversion is surplus to requirements. What it consists of is basically a narrowtrack bearing carrier fitted with a 5-stud drive flange. All you need to do is unbolt your existing components and bolt these on. You'll need a set of VR6 CV joints to fit on the end of the narrowtrack driveshafts which will come with the kit, along with decent condition CV boots. They come with ball joints, decent wheel bearings and nearly new ABS sensors so it should be literally plug and play. The bearing carriers are even bolted to a pair of decent condition shock absorbers which might come in handy for someone. The only thing you'll need to do to run decent 5-stud wheels on your car is fit VR6 rear discs and job's a good'un :)

Here's a picture I took earlier tonight:

 

 

I'm looking at £130 collected or £150 posted for the complete set-up. If you collect then you'll get the bonus of the decent shock absorbers but if you opt for posted I'll unbolt them because they're just too bulky to post that way. Collection from Derbyshire DE56 2JQ please.

 

Also, if you haven't already you might consider fitting bigger brakes to your 16V/8V, or renewing the ones on your G60. Offered as a seperate item or included in the sale of the front set-up is this complete set of 280mm front discs, carriers and calipers. They were powdercoated and fully rebuilt with new seals and pistons in 2010 and have covered roughly 2500 miles since then. I believe LaserMark has a full set of braided hoses to match these brakes if you're interested too - you'll have to ask him. Anyway, the discs are as new and are obviously 5-stud items. The calipers and carriers are powdercoated in a nice silver colour and I've given them a very quick clean up. With a bit more time they'd come up like new but I just wanted to get a quick picture of them tonight :lol: They come complete with the anti-rattle shims, as new sliders and seals and I can even throw in the pads that were fitted too - there's hardly any wear on them at all. The front discs are actually what you need in order to run the 5-stud conversion as they're 1993 Passat VR6 items.

 

 

Looking for £100 collected or £115 posted for the brakes, or if you decide to have them with the front hub set up then I can do the lot for £210 collected (that's a saving of £20!) or £250 posted (saving £15!).

 

If I'm honest I'd MUCH prefer someone to come and collect them. Will save me a lot of time that I don't have much of at the moment packing them up and taking to the post office etc.

 

Thanks, any questions feel free to ask!

 

Cheers

Tom
