    Well, I don't know what it's from Ian, but it's a another type of cassette (three bolt fixing, rather than the 156/166 four bolt) with a five stud hub.
    You must know the answer to my next question:
    What PCD size of wheel can you fit? 5x108?

    The 156/166 cassette is mentioned as a possible option on the LB website.

    PCD you will need to ask Craig he is having the wheels made to suit but 5x110 rings a bell?

    Ian,

    The LB hubs are indeed 5 hole x 110 PCD (Vauxhall standard)

    Sorry for the thread hijack but just to clarify..
    For those opting to go with the LB wheels then we use the GM based drive flange which is a 5 stud but on 110pcd, for those who wish to opt for the 15" wheels which are available off the shelf in 5 x 98 or 5 x 108 there is an upright set which is machined to accept the 156/166 bearing Chris has highlighted above. With the Alfa set it is necessary to retain the drive flanges from the donor car if you have go this route (156 is 98 pcd, 166 is 108pcd) whereas the GM set come with integral flanges thus eliminating the need for the donor parts.

    Regards

    Craig

    Gerry's upgrade uses the 164 bearings, hubs and CV's. Bearing is still a push in type.

    Thanks to Gerry for supplying new carriers FOC. These use the 164 larger bearings etc so new project to update as outlined above. As a short term fix I've peppered the carrier bearing surface using a centre punch and fitted SKF bearings using locktight. Now they're a SNUG fit and won't be going anyway...
