[Mgb-v8] 5-lug hubs (Jaguar swap?)

[Ficalora, Robert]

Hi James,

Bill Guzman has hubs for the MGB spindle that he can drill in any lug pattern
you want.  www.classicconversionseng.com; bg.gtv6 at verizon.net,  or just call
him at 805.484.1528.

He's happy to help & is a wealth of information.

Rob

Subject: [Mgb-v8] 5-lug hubs (Jaguar swap?)

All,
    I've been looking for a 5-lug option for my ongoing V-8 conversion.
With fender flares, I won't easily be able to find wide rims with the
stock 4-lug pattern.  I'm just about ready to order new axles for my
Dana 44 rear-end, so I have to decide on a bolt pattern post-haste.

    I know some have used the Porsche 944 hubs, but that is a funky
metric pattern that his limited applications.  I bought a Jaguar
XK-something front-end because someone told me that those hubs would
mount on the stock B spindle.  However, I took the Jag apart tonight,
and the spindles have different dimensions, so it's not a drop-in fit.
Does anyone know it's possible to get bearings with the same OD ( fit in
the Jaguar hub) but a smaller ID to fit on the B hub?

    Barring that, anyone know a source of custom hubs or another car
that has the same spindle dimensions as the B?
V/R
