Hub/calliper/carrier

[Trislander]

Hi

Anybody know where I might be able to get hold of a complete hub unit with calliper and carrier with 18mm bolt please?

For driver side mark 2 galaxy x reg

Thanks

Scrappers or an ebay "breaking" ad are the obvious answers, though some forum members have bits lying about.

 

Did you figure out which bits were wrong?

 

You need to know the brake disc diameter to obtain the correct parts. From the other thread, I'll have a guess that your discs are 288mm, in which case the caliper assembly is the same as most mk.1 cars.

If I can post pics off my iPhone ill show u my problem

I've had the chance to look at both sides today and passenger side is fine but drivers side carrier appears to bigger (which requires 27mm bolt) so my question is the "good" one which is 18 mm carrier will that be off a mark 1? I've had issues in the past with parts when I've bought mark 2s and it actually need mark 1 parts.

Would a mark 1 hub/carrier with 18mm bolt work on my x reg mark 2?

I have a caliper and carrier have I don't need. Just no bolts.

The smaller 288mm front disc setup was fitted to most mk1s, and some early mk2s, generally those with 15" wheels and the 16" arch-type Zetec alloys fitted to late mk1s and early mk2s.

 

So, an early mk2 car like yours can have either setup... but they should of course be the same on both sides!

 

Measure the passenger side disc. If it's 288mm diameter, then it's the same as the common 288mm disc, hub & caliper setup as for the mk1.

Cheers for the info I hope you're right as mark 1s seem easier to find
