vectra hub on cav turbo leg

a while back i fitted some 288mm disks to my cav turbo by grinding my hub down, ive never really been happy with that and now one of the wheel bearings need doing so seems the perfect time to remedy it.

so can i use a vectra b 5 stud hub flange with a 74mm wheel bearing and cav t front leg?

thanks les.

a 5 stud vectra hub flange IS the same as a late calibra one, so yes. have done this myself.

double check the size of the inside of the leg you are using before you buy a new bearing though, should be 74 mm as you say, but it might have been changed previously, so be careful. both fit the flange, but you just need to get the correct bearing for the actual leg.
been caught here myself!
74x37x39 thick, or,
72x37x37 thick.
if you buy a vectra bearing in a box, theres always the chance of them coming with only one clip though.

All V6 5 stud bearings are the same, so you can just swap a vectra hub with the new bearing.

The Early LET bearings were different (92-3)
