26th September 2011, 09:55 PM
Hi,

I have the opportunity to have some AE86 hubs CNC Machined from scratch at a good price.

I am currently having a pair made for myself and wanting to know if there is enough interest to have more produced.

There will be two types available, a standard copy of a factory hub OR one that will give 10mm track per side! This means you will have 20mm extra track total before and control arm, spacers or wheels fitted.

Be aware, you cannot take this 10mm off if you want, its part of the hub.

All hubs will suit standard AE86 wheel bearing kits, and I am able to supply new wheel bearing kits with hubs.

These Hubs are made LOCALLY in SOUTH AUSTRALIA, by a large CNC company that make other CNC Motorsport items and supply items to companys such as MAD DAT.

The price for two (2) hubs (standard or +10mm) with no studs or bearings will be approx $300 DELIVERED to your door. (Including postage)

Wheel bearing kits will be $30 for both sides (If required)

Sourcing studs can be left to you depending on length you wish.

A deposit of 30% will be required before they will be produced, and production time will take 3 weeks.

Please post interest here. If we get 10 or more people i will DEFINITELY give the go ahead......any less and we might do a one of run of them.

(I have Nicks permission for this thread)

Regards

Huw

Many moons ago I thought about machining up some alloy hubs, after talking to a V8 supercar fabricator I decided against it, he shed some interesting light on the cons of alloy hubs on the road.

I noticed Group 4 fabrication does this also, out of the UK, but about 180 pounds per hub in alloy.

Plus freight.

If youre replacing them every couple of hundred hours theyre probably great.

sundee
27th September 2011, 07:09 PM
Y would you replace them every hundred hours?
If you use a hi grade alloy it will be fine.
Aircraft wings and hi load components are made oh hi temper alloys and tested to over 120,000 hrs without fault .
So saying they need to be replaced every couple hundred hours would not be true.
Also these alloys experience and carry much higher loads then a 1000kg car.

Anthony
27th September 2011, 08:58 PM
I don't know, perhaps the same reason F1 teams who can afford alloy wheel nuts replace them every 2 races and the teams on a budget run steel wheel nuts. Aluminium is awesome at jobs like aeroplane wings. I just think undercarriages are a little different. Thought I saw a fair bit of steel last time I looked at a planes undercarriage too.

My comment related to the fact that I am sure V8SC teams replace theirs every couple of hundred hours. When you want a road car to do 10s of thousands of hours in a public space, it's a complete different proposition.

Landing gear is a different kettle of fish, it needs to withstand forces across many axis, your run of the mill 737 has a MTOW of just over 85 ton and a MLW of 71 ton, then take in G forces ..

I thing your wheel nut eg may be a thread re torque issue rather then a structural failure of some sort?

I'd run alloy hubs if they were made from a hi tempered alloy

Anthony

heh understeering into a gutter pretty much covers all the axes from a hubs point of view :).

lol at calling out frak on technical issues :)

fwiw the nature of aluminium, however its structured, means its not suitable for certain things.

i can only mention from my experiance with bikes, which i know is a very different kettle of fish, but utilising aluminium balances weight against regidity. To gain an advantage from aluminum, it has to be lighter. to be lighter it utilises less mass. But because its softer, it looses regidity. So we increase the regidity of the material with additives. Which unfortunatly leeds to an increase in the brittle nature of aluminium.

While i have no doubt this balance can be achieved with a great deal of accuracy, in my experiance it also means that the margin for error is MUCH smaller. And this leads to more chances of failure.

in short, id agree with ant and frak, its fine if you are not utilising them on the road regularly. Or if you can replace them regularly.

But thats just imo :)

28th September 2011, 10:53 PM
I still don't agree . I really think that aluminum or in this case duralium (spelling)
Would easily cope with the task. A 2xxx series for hi heat and Fatigue resistance.
These materials make up nearly 3/4 of an aircrafts ZFW ( zero fuel weight )
Now if this material was prone to be unreliable and fail, why then would it be used in the making of such critical structures so vastly?

I do however agree with blood nuts aka fantapants comment to some degree - but I think it can be achievable safely with hi accuracy

what parts of the aircraft do they use it on?

Kid Karola
29th September 2011, 12:05 AM
Alloy and Aluminum is not the same thing. Far too often the two terms are used interchangeably when they shouldn't be. *Definition: An alloy is a homogeneous mixture or metallic solid solution composed of two or more elements* Yes there are Aluminum Alloys with varying strength and properties, but Steel is itself an Alloy and there are many derivatives of both.

The material selection; strength, toughness (resistance to fatigue), corrosion resistance, treatment process, stability at operating temperatures, machinability, cost, etc. Not to mention the re-design of hub is of major importance; changes in steering geometry, stresses on major components (axle, bearings, sus, brake, wheel) will no longer be the same, and this needs to be taken into account. Balance is another consideration, but CNCed part will generally have inherent balance and less flaws than a casting (which needs to be post-machined anyway)

I think the CNC/billet hub option has advantages and disadvantages over the OEM cast hub. For track/race use yes or daily road use maybe-no? A track is a relatively steady environment and 100km track time is arguably more punishing than 1000km on normal roads. You don't redline launch, flat out accel then hard brake, ride kerbs, repeat for 30 min to hour+ everytime you drive do you? That said, roads surfaces and conditions are constantly changing, add pot holes, gutters poor maintenance... but most of the time you're not pushing at the limit of physical envelope for 100-1000-10,000km at a time.

It's not the sort of thing you can just fit and forget, As mentioned these would have a shorter lifespan and need to be inspected/replaced at regular intervals preventative maintenance - remove & test, if ok shelf for spares or bin & replace regardless. 70-86% of guys here are balling on a budget so not an option. Generally if you want 10mm track for aesthetic reasons or grip, it would probably be easier, cheaper, less drama to get wheels that fit with correct offset, use spacers or longer LCA, all of which have pro-cons in themselves. For those looking for every last umpteenth of performance with cost no object, sign below.

Ok these will be made from K10 45 steel........

This company I am dealing with is not a backyard operation, they have insurance for thr car parts thry make underwrittrn by lyodds of London.......

Like I have previously stated, they make components for other Australian performance shops and a v8 supercar team, I'm sure they have an idea what they are doing.

I'm not making a comment on anything else, simply cause I don't know. I'm just going by the facts I'm told by the team that will be making them

slydar
29th September 2011, 10:16 AM
ok so. you have oem hubs that has lasted.. what? 25+ years? i have never heard of one failing. lets say the new billet hubs have 1/2 - 1/4 the life span? thats 6+ years minimum.. 50 000ks+

the OE stuff is intentionally over built. i have heard of many bearing failures in 86s. but never an actual hub. if its a reputable manufacturer like Huw says, i dont see the problem.

ALMOST any car these end up on is going to see semi limited road use.

P.S im kinda keen. depending on timing.

Kid Karola
29th September 2011, 10:44 AM
Kind of what I was getting at, but I tend to waffle on abit ;) Huw is not talking about some sweatshop melting cola cans into faux rice gear to flog on e-bay. You're spot on Slydar OEM parts are over-engineered (Safety Factor like 5) Race components are tailored to a specific application and optimized (S.F. maybe less than 2 or 1 for non-critical components) But we're not shaving every gram for 1/1000 sec advantage, so there's no reason why these hubs would not be sturdy enough to use on road or last on car for X kms (with +track -mass) provided material selection and the hub itself is engineered with some forethought. I have confidence in these blokes.

29th September 2011, 01:12 PM
In regards to the airplane vs car hub discussion I might have something usefull to add.
I think a distinction has to be made not only between the actual axis that see load on for example a planes wing or a car hub but also on the characteristics of the load. Does the material see tension, compression or shear (or any combination of that). I've briefly worked at an airplane manufacturer and I can remember that when they're determining what material they're going to use where the charateristics of the load vs the material properties are taken into account as some materials are better suited for tension then compression etc...

LittleRedSpirit
29th September 2011, 09:47 PM
Ok chicken littles listen up. Group 4 fabrications say that no periodic replacement is required with their alloy hubs, ever. Id suggest that this was the case with these aussie made ones too if they make them from a durable grade of alloy.

Sorry but I actually emailed them and asked the question outright, I didnt mean to upset the constant stream of misinformation and opinion that is hampering this thread from actually being informed.

Carry on.

LittleRedSpirit
30th September 2011, 09:01 AM
Oh btw, if alloy could not be a suitable material from a safety point of view, then nobody told Mercedes when they built the new sls gullwing, maybe someone should email them and tell them they fucked up. No need to explain why.

sundee
30th September 2011, 11:12 AM
That's was exactly my point i was getting at when comparing this to aircraft engineering.
Like I said 63 ton of air mobile, and nearly 50 ton will be hi grade duralium .
Thats good enough for me, or how about Nearly 30,000 lbs of thrust trying to rip the wing off ... Hmm

Anthony
30th September 2011, 11:26 AM
Yeah they're all valid points aluminium is an awesome material, no doubt. But the engineering requirements in an aircraft wing compared to those in a spindle type automotive hub could not be more different. You cant just say a 737 wing holds 15,000 lbs thrust so I'm going to remake my hubs in aluminium.

sundee
30th September 2011, 02:08 PM
That's each, so just under 60,000 lbs.
I'm not saying that just because this is made from a certain material then make this out of it aswell.
But it is sheer testimate to how strong and durable the material actually is and the forces it can withstand.
And as littleredspirit has shown, others also think it's up to the task.

slydar
30th September 2011, 04:18 PM
i think its a good material for a hub. the steel is just cheaper. a little more material thinkness around the studs and inner bearing race and it should be fine and still much lighter. almost every bicycle/motorcycle hub in the world is made from aluminium alloy. the only specific difference i can think of really is the extra heat cycling from the brakes.

i would love to hear discussion otherwise, if there is any though.

Kid Karola
2nd October 2011, 08:00 AM
in case you missed it...


Ok these will be made from K10 45 steel........

K1045 is a Steel Alloy (Carbon, Manganese) Typical uses include gears, shafts, axles, bolts, studs, and machine parts.

Just to reiterate: aluminum and alloy are NOT the same thing. There are Aluminum alloys, Steel alloys and many other types of alloys.
There are various grades of so called "Air-Craft" alloy commonly used in aero-space industry, with different properties depending of purpose.

Well the alloy rotor hats on the sls seem to hold together without shattering/melting or deforming.

Kid Karola
7th October 2011, 04:36 AM
for 3rd time: alloy ≠ aluminum *&* rotor hat ≠ axle hub

The "alloy" material used my MB, Porsche, Ferrari, etc for rotor hats on ceramic compostite brakes, and other suppliers such as AP, Alcon, Brembo, etc of high performance/motorsport brake set-ups, is not really the discusssion topic here - namely the HUB which rotates on the stub axle, to which the brake disc and wheel bolts to.

Out of interest do you happen to know the specific alloy type/grade used by MB for rotor hats on AMG SLS? or the reasons why an alloy hat is used over a 1-piece disc? (clue part of the reason CCB are a 20-grand option is the manufacturing process, each disc is balanced to hat with weighted fastners)
a) reduced rotating mass and unsprung weight.
b) less heat transfer-soak to hub and bearings.
c) nature of carbon/ceramic compound not suitable for mounting assembly itself.
d) all of above.
e) other?

slydar
9th October 2011, 11:11 AM
yes, got it this time Karl :)

i can understand why you would want these hubs if you wanted the +10 track/brake clearance.

but i only want them if theyre significantly lighter. i dont know the properties of K45 so..?

ke_70
9th October 2011, 10:23 PM
1045 is a medium tensile steel. not quite as good as 4140 but alittle better than normal mild steel.
it's not really an amazingly awesome grade of steel.

im not sure on the weight though, but i can't see it being lighter than mild steel.

I'm confused.. If it moves the rotor away from the lca... Wouldn't you need to modify your caliper bracket to move it out aswell?

I thought these left the rotor in the same place and just added 10mm of thickness on the outer side to give extra track...

Sorry for the late replys, but im out at work at the moment, adn its not so easy to just jump on the internet all the time

this is where we are at:

I have called the machinist, one prototype has been machined. I have sent a new set of bearings to the shop to be test fitted, and they were not happy with how the bearing shell was in the hub, so they have made some adjustments to the CAD drawing and are going to make another hub to ensure the bearings sit properly.

Its important to get this right, if the bearings are crushed or 'egg shaped' in the hub it will not allow correct operation.

You have to remember that these are being made from a 25 year old hub.....some of the clearances will have changed in that original hub they took teh specs from.

I still have everyone's money in a new seperate account, if anyone wishes for a refund i will transfer. The hubs are still going ahead and will still be produced as stated.......these things take time.

Is it possible to press some studs into the first prototype and test fit a wheel? I'm wondering why the measurement on the drawing for the PCD circle is R57 and not R57.15. Your tapered seat wheel nuts should mate perfectly and not pull outwards on the wheel studs if that makes sense.

the update is im pretty much considering refunding all deposits and shutting this down.

my job is just too demanding at the moment, im far to regional.......most times with no phone, internet and using generators for 240v. I have no way of keeping in contact with people and getting things organised.

ill be paying for the time on the prototype and drawings out of my own pocket.

i have so much on my plate that i cant even get to the shop to inspect or discuss this. my job has just escalated so much since this project started.

i apologize to all concerned, as i have stated, a full refund of your deposit is available. i will PM all people individually to obtain bank details

13th December 2012, 02:41 PM
OK.

I have had some time to fit these up to my car to test fit and make sure the bearings/discs/clearance is all good.

I am happy with them so far. The biggest drama is going to be wheel studs. I have done some searching and it looks like a Honda wheel stud will be the go. It still uses the 1.50 thread pitch but the knurled shoulder is 12.3mm. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The wheel stud needs to have a knurled section close to 12.00mm.

I am going to start sending these out to interested parties.

PLEASE NOTE: THESE WILL NOT COME WITH BEARINGS OR STUDS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SOURCE THESE ALSO. THERE WILL BE ADDED COSTS INVOLVED. I AM MAKING NO MONEY OFF THE HUBS, INFACT I WILL PROBABLY LOOSE SOME MONEY ONCE THEY ARE ALL SOLD.

Here are some pictures of these fitted to my vehicle:

hi mate, joined the forum to specifically ask about these. They still have all the standard ae86 measurement apart from the 10mm track? I've got a ta23 Celica and am planning on using technotoy suspension in it, they do a coilover that uses ae86 strut casings so I can fit more brake options than is currently available to me. I've gotta do a little more homework on it but I can't find hubs anywhere, so machining some will almost be my only bet
If you have any left I might be interested. Cheers in advance

Hi mate,

Yes all the dimensions of these are identical apart from the face that mates to the wheel, it has 10mm more meat on it to create the extra track.

They still use OEM AE86 bearings and seals.

The only extra part you will need to acquire is longer wheel studs from a Honda, you need these due to the shoulder with that fits in the holes machined for the studs.

These things are perfect.

Only thing is that I just had normal lug nuts and the studs were too long. Nothing an angle grinder couldnt fix.

Or use the tube style wheel nuts like muteki extended nuts.

Forgot to mention, I took the drawing to a local machine shop for a quote.
$475 for one, or $900 for a pair. So if you didn't get a set when he was selling them, prepare to be ripped off.
Thanks for the ones I got from you too mate :)

THANKYOU.

At least someone understands the effort i went too........and I lost a small amount of money on each set I had made also.
