I`m going to fit the trailing arms of the bay to make it ball joint and then the std bay disks work on their own hubs
But I sow a conversion bearing the other day when I did the w/bearings in my DC microbus

Just got my wheels !!! And it looks like the std microbus disc/hub assemble will have enough "meat" to handle the 5 stud 130 pcd porche pattern im stripping the front suspention tommorrow to fit the beam adjusters and wil send the type 2 stub and combi hub to have a caliper bracket made and find bearings to fit there, wil have to cut the combi disc/hub about a mil cos it just pops out the centre cap on the porche wheel , but it looks like we have a winner here now to find an adaptor from 4stud 100pcd to 5 130 for the rears and we will have brakes !
Also got the dry sump pump and container !!
Bugger just wanna sort out the front before i tackle the rear will give you a shout to organize the "exhange"
