Title: NGR Billet Hub Install - Help Please
Post by: Staggerlee on August 08, 2011, 06:03:47 PM
So the stock hub is recessed where the "bush" fits into and locks down on a locating pin; the NGR hub is not recessed:

I'm thinking that I just need to run the 32mm nut down on top of the lock washer:

And just leave this guy out of the mix entirely:

Can anybody confirm?  The guy @ Motowheels who answered the phone didn't know; said to call back in the AM.

Thanks!

I'm not sure either... but damn if that's not a nice looking bit of kit!

I have Vee Two billet hub and I have left the flange spacer out. I used a plain stainless washer then the serrated washer, put the nut on with a rattle gun, torque wrench and loctite. I found that I needed the washer to take up a mm or two to get the nut correctly torqued. So keep an eye out for where the thread ends on the shaft. I also felt better about the serrated washer not digging into the beautiful alloy hub.

That's the route I chose as well.  There was lots of thread showing through the hub so I didn't need to put a washer underneath the serrated lock washer; now that I think about it, I bet that's why NGR machines these with the additional material there.

Thanks guys!
