Just watched this;



I can't see why you would need to use Metro Flanges, why can't you use the Mini ones??? They dont touch the calipers so whyyyy?

YES defo needed

due t the fact the hub carrier sits on the inside of the hub not the outside.

it spaces the disc out from the hub to allow room for the hub carrier.

i have some pocs somewhere showing the difference between the 2 types of hub

[miniboo]

actually you use the mini type but you will need to get a spacer made up to move the disc away from the hub. not ideal and i am not sure about the safety issues associated with doing this.

i think purtsi on here may have done this

Yep. But I used normal metro drive flange that doesn't come out as much as turbo metro one as i have understood. I used a 2mm washer between flange and hub to push the flange a bit more outwards and it seems to work ok.

Ah I see, excelent thank you.

So what Metro flanges do I need? Normal ones or Turbo ones?

[Purtsi]

no. 1 choice is turbo ones as there you don't have to find and/or fabricate those damn washers.

Turbo or any metro with vented disc', you need the ofset to allow the caliper carrier to mount correctly.


P.S its on the vid on green writing
