Instructions: Fitment of the Custom Rear Hubs

[Rambo]

Just to confirm Jeemy's fit, I've just put my hubs and Mintex MDC266 together and they are a perfect fit. Did it in 1 minute on the kitchen floor.

Mine too. A perfect fit and it took me much less than a minute Thanks Jeemy

Incidentally I got my discs from http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-MINTEX-Br ... 0705136125. Ordered one day and here the next. No postage charges as well. Fantastic service

just got an email from rock auto saying out of stock on part #PRT 1418 tried to get the other ones #0802269

Wow! That is bad luck. Sorry.

If the worst comes to the worst, that quote of £35 was for UPS.

It might be possible to use the postal service to send you some discs a bit cheaper. This could take 2-3 weeks though?

Rock Auto list the Brembo part in the list of alternatives I provided, and from the list of cars it fits, it sounds like the right thing. Howeever it claims to be a 6-stud fitting and the picture is of 5 plus retainer.

No specs are listed, and it appears to know I am in the UK so YMMV. All the diameters listed on another website seem in order.

They don't list the Apec, Bendiz, the Bosch, they again list the Ferodo with 6 holes, they don't list the National or Quinton Hazell.
Once again that list:

APEC DSK117
BENDIX 561158B
BOSCH 0986478081
BREMBO 08447510
FERODO DDF116
NATIONAL NBD004
QUINTON HAZELL BDC3388

…all untested although I believe muley has the Apecs on his hubs. I don't know if the 6 holes mean it will work on both 4 and 5-post hubs, head maths suggests not.

Sorry but its really difficult to do research when you aren't in the US, everything detects where I am.

Jamie - and anyone west of the atlantic...

With the probable cost of shipping rotors/discs from the UK at £35 which is almost $60.00, Rock Auto is a reasonable source. eBay also has listings
for 1989 Pontiac Lemans Brake rotors but be careful you are getting the solid version not the ventilated version.

The Rock Auto listing for the 1989 Pontiac Lemans 1.6L 98cid L4 Non-Vented (Solid) Front Rotors (Discs) is correct for the REAR discs to fit the Bob B. / Jeemy replacement hub.

Unfortunately, DJ got mislabeled or mis-packed discs from NAPA or their listing is inaccurate.

For those that don't know how to look up things in Rock Auto, this is their current list:

YES, the first listing is for Brembo discs at $6.66 each. Parts being cleared are usually amazingly inexpensive.

Just click one either one to be able to read it.

This is the listing under 1989 PONTIAC LEMANS 1.6L 98cid L4 : Brake/Wheel Hub : Rotor

The Rock Auto ones just arrived and the hub slides in there nicely. Will see about getting them put on soon.

Glad to hear you can move forward. Good Luck!

Wheeee!
