peteretep Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 they will be the same as the mk3/4/5 cortinas all have the same underbody, just different shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 yep, they will be the same, as long at they are nz assembled ones, not the aussie ones, vice versa. havent heard of any 5 stud hubs that bolt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_rich Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 mk 2 zephyr hubs bolted straight onto my capri stubs. not too sure on differences to the cortina though, but id say they'll be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 yup mk3 zeph had em on my mk2. if you could find a TE aussie mk5 4.1 swap the whole front suspension and redrill it for falc 5 stud as they are already vented. the prob with zeph hubs is that they have a small centre locator and any late model falc wheels have the large hole so all the weights on the studs. some wof guys and certifyers frown upon that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 f you could find a TE aussie mk5 4.1 swap the whole front suspension and redrill it for falc 5 stud as they are already vented. ive got front stub axles/hubs/discs/brake off a aussie mk4 with the vented discs and gonna chuck them on my mk5. just interested in what you know about redrilling them to another stud pattern, as i might look into it cause 4x108 is hell trying to find decent mags for. also what do you know about changing the stud pattern on the rear, ive got a diff/housing off the same aussie mk4 with drums.

SYKOV6 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 a decent engineer shouldnt have any probs redrilling to falc stud pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_rich Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 a decent engineer shouldnt have any probs redrilling to falc stud pattern Only problem is that at least one of the holes will have to be plugged up, it is 100% illegal to take a welder to any form of SG cast type hub, so it'll have to be A plugged (tapered threaded pin), of which im not sure is legal on a hub either.
