E30 drive shafts, hubs?
 

I am trying to solve the problem of eat hubs to youse. I am building with an e30 engion. And diff. Is ther a hub that will work with the BMW drive shafts or will sierra drive shafts go onto a BMW diff? Any other idear? Can I drive an mx5 hub with a BMW driveshaft? I gust canot find anny ansers to this?

Dont realy know for sure, but I would imagine different makes of component arnt just going to slot together?

would emadgion the same but you never know. Custom drive shafts?

my build has the bmw m44 engine and gear box, but the rest of the running gear is going to be sierra

If you wanted to use the BMW diff you would need to make substantial mountings for it, similar to the Sierra set up. With the hubs you could have made a bearing carrier to take the BMW bearings which could be bolted to the upright like the Sierra hub or use a shaft which is BMW at the diff and Sierra at the hub.

You're going to need custom driveshafts whichever one you choose 'cos the track of the BMW and Sierra are different.
