[mmcgtk 2]

I'm after getting some base line hubs for my 1.6, The threads are rusty and I want to run a tap threw them , what size and pitch are they?

Iirc, m12 x 1.25

 

nope, 1.5!

 

could have just measured a bolt of course, very easy

[jord294 94]

If I had a bolt in work with me, I would of measured it!

[jord294 94]

How do you that mmcgtk was asking about the caliper bolt thread mei? Are you psychic?

 

My answer was for the wheel bolt threads!

[petert 601]

That's strange. All the hubs I've seen are M12x1.25.

[welshpug 1,666]

oh right, lol.

 

most people call the complete assembly the hub, if you mean the drive flange that the wheel bolts go into, that is indeed 1.25 pitch as Andy posted.

sorry I didn't really make that clear.. but it is the hub flange i.e wheel bolt

[Tom Fenton 1,548]

Wheel bolts are 12x1.25, caliper bolts are 12x1.5.

Glad to help

Perfectly clear. You said "hubs", not "front swivel pins".

[Tom Fenton 1,548]

Most folk tend to call the complete front upright "hubs", OK strictly speaking the "hub" is the circular piece that the wheel mounts to, the bit the caliper bolts to I would call a "hub carrier".

Petert, you're new found pedantism makes some of your old threads somewhat confusing?

Hub carrier, Swivel pin, Upright, Steering knuckle, I'm sure there are more terms.

 

According to wikipedia simply 'hub' is correct - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

 

In automotive suspension, a steering knuckle is that part which contains the wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension components. It is variously called a steering knuckle, spindle, upright or hub, as well.
