[450dream]

Hi all I need a nsf hub for a 98 450 has any body got one sitting in their garage that they want to exchange for beer tokens ? I am in the Northampton area and could pick up if near me or pay for postage if anyone has one .
Thanks in advance

does it look a bit like this............?


This is from an S series but I believe that S Series, Chimaera and Griffith are all same, from Ford Sierra?



NSF = left hand so should be a right hand thread?

This one is left hand thread (yellow plastic in lock nut) I also have its right hand thread partner (blue plastic in lock nut) but that one is still assembled into the upright.



I'm in Redditch, not exactly on your doorstep but could be further

Thanks for the reply ,the part I require is the cast upright for passenger side that houses the wheel bearing and the track rod end and ball joints attach to due to damage where caliper bolts to it .It is probably my description and terminology that has lead you to think it's the drive flanges that were shown in your pictures . If you have the cast hub I would interested in purchasing if ok with you

This bit........?


Not sure why it looks purple, can assure you it's brown rusty... could do with a trip to the sand blasters!


Now the bad news is I'm not sure this is the one for your car? as I understand things at some stage in the production life of chims and Griffs Ford changed the casting (introduction of ABS?) which moved the caliper mounting lugs outwards, towards the wheel so a different disc was used to compensate, 53mm offset rather than 58 on older cars (and all S Series)?

Hi philpot thanks for reply that is the part I require and it has been benifical speaking to you in regards to this .from what you are saying if I am getting this right it is caliper mounting location that changed affecting offset of discs so if I measure my disc offset I should know if it's a late or early hub fitted ? I will measure and post measurements
Thanks again

Thanks philpot for your knowledge in regards the front hubs as my discs have offset of 53mm approx so would be the later hub so it looks like by search goes on . But appreciated your help
