1.6 To 1.9 Hubs

[Rob Turbo 3]

I want to put 1.9 hubs on my 205 so I can fit decent brakes when the turbo lump goes in, I have a pair of 1.9 hubs/carriers but the balljoint hole on both of them is oval, can I just press the hub out of the bearings and press them into new bearings on the 1.6 carriers? Or are the carriers different as well?

 

I've had a look on service box but it isn't that clear.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Yes they are the same iirc.... I vaguely remember using 1.6 ones with 2.9 drive flanges annd 1.9 beatings for rebuilding my graphite 205!!!
