This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help me.

I've got a bike-engined race car that uses the front wheel hub (or 'drive flange') from a Ford model, on all four corners of the car. I'm trying to track down which model the hubs come from, as I want to refurbish a spare set of hub carriers and fit them with new hubs.

The hubs have a four-lobe profiled shape (ie, not circular), 22 splines and the usual 4-stud pattern on a 4.25" PCD, but here's the important point; the stud holes are plain (for serrated studs) not threaded.

I believe the hubs may be from an early Fiesta, or FWD Escort, but the ones I've looked at so far have had threaded stud holes.

Does anyone have any ideas which Ford model these hubs were fitted to?

(...and for extra points, the Ford part number wink !)

Thanks

Laurence
