JAG XJ6 drive flange / hubs conversion
Discussion
Probably a really stupid question, but what the hell, won't be the first time!
I'm considering Jag XJ6 front and rear hubs on my project. Front's obviously pose no problems (might even use the carriers), but the rear... AFAIK the XJ6 still use the IRS that uses the drive shaft as the top wishbone, which I wont be - I'll need to convert to work with a new hub carrier and seperate upper and lower wishbones - which will need sliding spline type driveshaft from the Audi Transaxle. I've been told it can be done but nothing more - anyone got any suggestion/info?
Back to the front briefly... if anyone has a useful source of aftermarket alloy ones that'd be handy - seem to be a fair amount of people converting things with jag set-ups!

the python cobra in melbourne australia uses the jag rear as you describe.
have no idear about the front
the SKF website has an online catalogue, you might be able to mix and match bearings, uprights, wheel hubs to get something that suits your needs.
Front uprights maybe
Honda S2000
Series 6 RX7
Honda NSX
New NC MX5 – steel but light weight, at least there is very little material there
Corvette – has same stud pattern as Jag I think

I'd rather not go too far down the mix and match route unless it's a proven one - my last trial and error mods cost a fortune and ended up being replaced with a proven system, so I'm trying to short cut as much this time!
