BMW suspension suitability

your right you have to chop them off face them on a lathe and weld them to the haynes rear upright. there was a guy on here a while back that did it but i can remember his name for love nor money

this is the design chris did for the bmw front hub

I wonder if there would be someone who could make a bolt on bearing holder similar to the Sierra units, I understand you can get alloy Sierra replacements, so why not BMW.

Certainly be a lot more straightforward way of doing it, and the bolts would allow for a bit of toe adjustment if needed (probably)

Is it possible for someone to post some pictures of the std sierra hubs ? I'd sure find them usefull ive already theoretically worked out what i need to do just need some measurements from an original sierra hub i think it would benefit alot of those not going down the standard route ?

i could put up pics tmrw of e30 bmw hubs alwell, for cross reference? i was also wondering about e30 diff, ive taken off the axle mount thingy that houses the diff, maybe put up pics of that to for ideas?

i would also like to look at the seirra ones just to play spot the difference.
