A100 front wheel hubs

Does anyone know of a source for new replacement wheel hubs for the A100?

I don't need any yet, but would like to know before I do need them.

They are hard to find, but not sure if they are specific to the A100. Take extra care when you do your disc swap, make sure you cut around the swaged on studs and don't just pound them out. I used a 3/4 hole saw which worked fine as the stud tapers out a bit at bottom. Don't go all the way through to hub.

Once you cut the sweged area, the studs come out pretty easy, but do support the bottom of hub so it does not bend. When pressing the new larger studs in, make sure you have the hole size right. You can crack the hub if there is too much interference!

Any pics of the GTX in your sig?

Thanks for the tips there Mark.  I will be sure to read my Scarebird instructions several times as suggested in the email.  Pics of the GTX below....







Reimported pics so that the GTX wouldn't get cut off

this is what you need to do to save the hubs.

Were you able to find one?

I have not found a source for the hubs as new.

I am also curious as to why I would need to use a hole-saw to remove my hubs or brake drums.  During my restoration a few years ago, everything came apart relatively well....with the exception of removing the King Pins....they needed some heat to get loosened up.
