westfield rear hub nut - which one?

[chrisdurham]

hi guys, trying to track down a couple of new rear hub nuts for the westfield, as you can see from the pic, I need the ones that you can notch into the end of the driveshaft

They are off a Sierra

Is it a live axle, or IRS car?

If its IRS its most likely sierra (unless its one of the MX5 based cars)

What engine? How old?

You can use the nyloc version on those shafts but after having those non nyloc versions spin on me I like to wire or split pin them after torquing up

It's IRS. Live axle cars don't have hub nuts.

Actually, OP, the is a chance it could be an MX5, as Westfield made an MX5 SDV car. If it's got an MX5 engine, it could be MX5, if it's anything else, it will be Sierra.

if its an early IRS ( the one with english diff in westfield´s alloy housing) the prop-shafts might be different.

hello all,

its a 1991 with IRS. it has a sierra xr4 diff in, not sure on the driveshaft's though...

it now has a tuned 4.3 v8 under the bonnet :+)

They will be Sierra.
