Stupid Q: from what car are the 5-stud (Cerbera-on) hubs?

[900T-R]

Got hubs, got uprights for the Tuscan but missing the draw bolt and spacers that hold the hub/bearing assembly together on one.

The TVR parts suppliers list the bigger inside spacer (which I bought) but not the smaller inside disc.

It's the last thing standing between me and having the front end back together

Am I right to assume these 5 x 114.3 hubs aren't a TVR special but come from a far more prosaic motor that is laying about in scrapyards by the square gazillion? Here's to hoping...

Ta muchly in advance!

I believe that they are Chrysler (Voyager?)

Great, that means I can pinch one off my boss's car. Or maybe not...

H'm, scratch that - looks like the Voyager/(Grand) Caravan etc. hubs have a square bolt pattern to the uprights instead of triangular as per the TVRs...

5x114.3 is almost exclusively used on Japanese cars. That might narrow down your search

114.3mm is a very odd size for the very metric Japanese to pick. Convert it to imperial and it is exactly 4 1/2 inches, now it's sounding more 'merican, don't you think? Chrysler.

I believe the 5 stud hubs on the later cars (Tuscan & Cerbera onwards) are from a JEEP.

....So Chrysler as mentioned.

Well - considering we rolled it out of the factory hall it was residing in and onto the low loader on three 300 ZX wheels and one from a Mk1 MR2...

That'd be bad news as those would be held together by the driveshafts on both front and rear wheels... not many 2WD Jeeps been built lately, right?

Have a look at Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee of the era, that has a three bolt fixing.

Yep, I spotted those, too Given that the Cerbara started in '96, that would be the XJ model, which also was available in a 2WD version. The bolt and spacers might still be a TVR addition, but at least it's a place to start...
