My Hub Conversion.

man that's a lot but it's worth what it does. there's a wrecked cobalt at my job i am wondering if i can grab the twb and mod it myself.

Sorry guys the links are from OTT's old website. And like Mike said, it's not just a matter of bolting on new hubs. Also, Powell doesn't just slap these axles together, they're a very custom project. The rear TWB cost me $1300 alone. No brakes, nothing.

So, it's not a light project.

Damn, if it was just swapping hubs I'd do it. Do the 5x114.3 hubs not have the correct spline count on em to mount to the axles or is it something else?

they are a direct bolt on as far as i know. i think it's 32 splines? that and the wheel speed sensors are plug and play. everything matches.

up front is easy fo-sheezy, it's the rear that has issues because anything other than a cobalt specific hub requires drilling, which weakens the TWB.

How about re-drilling the hubs then?

 

[ls1fbody]

not a good idea.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i bet it would work, but it's not something i'd drive to work every day

not a good idea.

Damn it, I really wish I still had access to a CNC machine still, I'd make something work lol

 

[ls1fbody]

i mean, it'd physically work, but the locaion of the stock lugs has a lot of reinforcement material behind it. The spaces in between are quite a bit thinner.

ah so you're saying it's thicker where the studs go through. interesting.
