tortron Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I have 2 options to swap hubs for my front wheels. Option one Fit a sleeve over the spindle to adapt the inner bearing and dust seal. Option 2 The spindles are held in by a small lip, a big circlip, and a friction fit. I can press the original one out and fit the one from the donor car. I would however need to get the upright machined out a very small amount as the donor spindle is a hair oversize. The donor spindle is arguably a little stronger although it would be unusual to break either, I would need to fit an adaptor but only for the inner dust seal lip. Either way the wheel position/track stays the same Either way I need new bearings. Here's an idea of the setup More of a tech question possibly? I'm not super keen on the bearing sitting on a sleeve, but locktite is probably fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on this? I know its a weird question, but i'd be interested to know if its a doable thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 you would need to re cert again later with the different seats anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 strangely, I have a question for this thread if person 'a' puts rego on hold for the minimum of 3 months then sells vehicle to person 'b' after 1 month person 'b' then puts rego on the vehicle, rego then starts from the date of change of ownership, this is on the nzta website does person 'a' get a bill for rego because it was on hold for less than the 3 month minimum? the reason I ask, is I bought a bike with reg on hold, I put 3 months rego on it, but the date of expiry was 3 months from when the reg on hold ran out, not 3 months from the date I put it in my name. so I got nearly an extra month free. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hey Cletus just wondering, if a car has had a section of the floor replaced and this needs a repair cert. how would one find the repair cert paperwork? ive done a car jam report and it doesn’t say anything, nor is there any other paperwork to go with the car do these get logged on a system of any sort? thanks ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Slideways~ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi Cletus, - Can you tell me if it is possible to cert a half cage (or if its even part of a cert) with side intrusion bars? It would follow the design of being out of the way of the driver and passenger head. - on that, what is the definition of 'head restraints' when it comes to a half cage? The half cage would be welded in, unsure whether the side intrusion would be bolt in or weld in. I prefer weld in but it depends if its even possible. The reason I ask is because I want to add safety and stiffness to a late 60's kei car design but I don't want to have to have an authority card and log book for a 2nd car (I am planning a full cage in another project). Thanks again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I imagine you were in that time frame otherwise it would of back dated to date of purchase? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you would get a copy of it, you might be able to get the repair certifier to make copies for you? its not usually something that the customer gets a copy of, the cert paperwork gets given to the vtnz/vtnz inspector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the link below the paperwork has to be kept for two years. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/light-vehicle-repair/introduction/inspection-and-certification-process I don't know how you can access the records though, maybe talk to NZTA? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 are there any requirements for aftermarket wheel hubs? i can get these machined cast hubs which would mean i dont have to mess about with bearing adaptors and plugging and redrilling the PCD of some old ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
