Did not see these listed.
Ford Sierra/Merkur rear.
4X108 PCD.
Bolt on stub/bearing carrier, 4 bolts
Complete bearing carrier, stub axle, and hub come to just over 10Lb. per side on my scale.
Easy to find and pretty cheap even in the U.S., lots on feeBay including NOS.

I think the front are similar and I know they have disc brakes.
I've also found that changing the rear to disk WITH a parking brake is pretty inexpensive.
Calipers at around $100 each and solid disc from as little as $5.00 new (Yes, $5.00!) in original Ford boxes or spend more for wong-fu made drilled, slotted, etc.
For me these are great as I am using set of Enkei Alfa Romeo 4x108 wheels.

Additional info provided via the U.S. eBay seller of some brackets I am buying.

"Convert the heavy, weak, and outdated drum brakes for lighter, stronger, and better calipers. These adapters will accept Merkur Scorpio rear calipers and brackets, which are exactly identical to Ford Sierra Cosworth rear calipers!

The rotors used are easily and readily found anywhere. Believe it or not, they come from a 01-04 Focus ZTS! They already have the same 4x108 bolt pattern and the same 63.3mm center bore making it a direct fit! Because the focus is a popular car, there are many styles of rotors to choose from such as OEM solid, or aftermarket vented/drilled.
You will also have no issues fitting these under the OEM 14" wheels too!
Because all parts are essentially OEM Ford, this kit has another advantage. You can purchase a Ford Sierra rear parking cable to make it a TRULY bolt-on conversion. This can be found at Merkur Depot. Mike will take care of your needs.

Yes, they are a bit heavy, but I think I will use them anyway. The HA590069 weighs 5.7 pounds and the HA590067 weighs 7.5 pounds. I expected the hub part to be aluminum, but they are iron too. These are actual Timken parts, not something of unknown parentage.
I have made good functional models out of them in Solidworks 2012. If anyone wants them, I can export them in whatever. Just PM me.

I plan on using these hubs with my Saturn Sky / Pontiac Solstice Uprights... I believe they will bolt right on and give me a 4x100 pattern instead of the useless 5x110.


EDIT: They don't bolt up as best as I can tell... The Bolt Diameter on the Saturn Hub is: 4.567" with a hub pilot diameter of 3.543"

The HA590069 is 4.331" and 3.346" respectively...

Has anyone done this? Anyone have a way of cross referencing timken parts based on mounting diameter / hub pilot diameter? Should I just run the cobalt hub by slotting the saturn upright and machining a bushing to fit the two? (it would be thin at 0.0985", yucky).

I could also just re-drill the saturn hub to 5x100 , but I'd have to do so without disassembling the hub which is mildly annoying, and have the task of fitting rotors and calipers. :BH:

Heya Guys,

I am looking for a 4 x 100 stud pattern with a Honda spline detail 28x32 (http://www.driveline.com.au/sites/defau ... STOMER.pdf)
I am struggling and any assistance would be great, thanks.

I was googling and found the Timken hub assembly catalog.

I also filtered for all 4x100 units and found that the 512002 is the lightest at 5.2 lb; dunno why the non-ABS 512000 is 0.1 lb heavier.

I didn't see mention of the hub being aluminum; where did you see that?

Hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

I dug through Timken's bearing catalog to find all of their 4x100 wheel bearings - bolt on or otherwise.

I pulled application and boiled down major features that are relevant to us for the bolt-on hubs.

Code:
Part #       Application & Features
512000   Saturn SC/SL/SW rear bolt-on assembly     
512002   same part as above with ABS     
512018   Geo prizm/corolla rear bolt-on assembly     
512019   same as above with ABS     
512171   geo storm bolt-on rear assembly - EXPENSIVE   
512184   geo prizm/corolla rear bolt-on assembly ABS     
513226      02-09 mini front bolt-on assembly
HA590063   00-06 prius rear bolt-on assembly ABS -  expensive
HA590066   cobalt rear - aluminum hat - light bolt-on assembly 
HA590067   same as above no ABS     
HA590068   cobalt front - driven aluminum bolt-on assembly ABS very light relatively
HA590069   same as above no ABS     
HA590161   02-09 mini rear bolt-on assembly     
HA590170   Yaris rear bolt-on assembly       
HA590172   yaris rear non ABS bolt-on assembly     
HA590184   hyundai accent 07-10 rear bolt-in assembly     
HA592410   Toyota echo rear bolt-in assembly looks light for bolt-in 
HA594245   scion xa & echo ABS rear bolt-in assembly   
HA595017   00-05 MR2 front ABS bolt-in assembly - pretty spendy


Without actually measuring weights I believe the cobalt front & rear (one of the very few driven & undriven bolt-on combos) units will be the lowest weight units - the hubs are aluminum and the majority of the rest are steel.

The other unit of interest is the front driven unit from the mini - it supposedly (again, I've only read it, haven't tested in person) accepts the outer miata CV joint making it a great option for a bolt-on rear hub if you're employing the miata drivetrain.

Noah, his post was 9-1/2 years ago. He hasn't been on this site for 2-1/2 years. I suspect He won't be answering you.

The saturn abs and non-abs wheel bearing hubs are not interchangeable on the same upright.

It is unlikely that cobalt bearing hubs are aluminum but they could be. Definitively not the wheel flanges.

All have an important concentric lip that locates the hub in the upright. The bolts just clamp.

Ah, that explains it.

Good to know, thanks.

I intend to machine custom aluminum uprights, so I'm just looking for the lightest hub unit that has a straightforward interface.

Does anyone know if there are 108 x 5 pattern wire wheels 15"?
