what would be the proper torque spec?
Miata spec is 150ft lb
E30 says 210 ft/lb

Thanks

Torque specifications are to get the proper stretch on the fastener, in this case that would be the spindle snout. Go with the Miata spec, should have been in the directions.

I missed out on this as well, will there be more coming? Just installing bbk too would be perfect time.....

I've been to 2 track days on these hubs, one at Canadian Tire Motorsports park (Mosport) and another at a smaller club track called Toronto Motorsports Park ... featured on the Speed Academy YouTubers channel. Run on an LS2 Miata with a bad cylinder and 245 RS4s mounted on 15x9s. Despite not going full pace I tried to keep the cornering speeds up and put some good load on the hubs ... they were awesome, no issues. Track-side inspections is a little limited but the hubs seemed tight and solid. I still need to pull the wheels and brakes to take a good look at them but I don't expect any issues after only 2 track days so far. Thanks Bronson!

Thanks for the feedback!

Little update, website development is coming along sloooooowly. Good news is this has given me time to build up inventory and work with a few endurance teams as well as a few new ideas for related products.

If you're interested in purchasing ahead of the launch please get in touch via email

Replace the "at" with @

I can't offer any feed back for track use, but I have put a few thousand street miles and road trips on my set. Zero issues on install and zero issues on the street. It's like the car is stock. Other than a few keen eyed people spotting the extended studs and wondering what the heck is going on, since my car looks stock except the roll bar and trunk rack. (My goal was a sleeper miata).

Just gonna leave this here. Nothing earth shattering.

Thought I felt a tremor yesterday. Ok, how much for the rears?

Looks nice :bigtu:

Here's where I'm at, the MR2 hub solution that was discovered by GeneSplicer has been proven and currently only being sold by SadFab as a bolt in solution. I hate to compete with his business but I get 2-3 messages a week asking for these things. So I bought a batch of 10 sets to try mainly because I now own a lathe large enough to do these efficiently. As usual you goobers are my pilot batch to be sure I got the machining done right. There really isn't anything to difficult about these other than my little atlas lathe wasn't having it. I did discover the WJB brand of these hubs come with a .489-.491" stud hole which is just enough meat to drill out to .500" so you can use 90-93 f/r - 94-05 front Miata wheel studs with a .507" knurl, part number 100-7719. I figured you guys had some leftover from your old front hubs.

My pricing won't be the same since I have the extra step of drilling these stud holes. Also I'll be including seals and snap rings in the base kit.

Basic hub kit with seals, c-clip, Hub and spacers: 195$ shipped

Complete hub kit with SKF bearings and ARP studs loose in box: 320$ shipped

If enough of you guys want me to install these studs I'll probably offer an install adder to torque the front studs and press the rears in.

This picture cracks me up, that's the chuck from my 7" atlas mounted in my new to me 16" South Bend. She's a diamond in the rough, cleaned up nicely.

Rear Hub Group Buy

I have the basic kits ready to ship, I'll need a few days to see what the demand is and order studs and bearings if there is any interest there.

Last update for this thread!

I finally found a stud installation tool that seems to work well and does not damage the studs. I'm trying to source these in large quantities in just the 12mm size to include in the kit. They work that well.

Can't recommend this now, some how the first stud installed fine but when I went to use the tool again it flat spotted the stud.......fine for removing junk studs but that's about it.

Here's the big reveal..........the website is up and running and BroFab is a legit business now, taxes and all. I want to thank you all for the support and your trust in getting these to market, there's over 75 sets making laps across 5 countries now and the enthusiasm has been great, and even more so your feedback has helped refine these into a legit product I'm proud to market. So check out the website, and if you have a set please send me some car pics I can add to the customers rides section!

This will be the end of the group buy here, so please contact me through the website for any future orders.

Nice! The site looks good on my phone. Gonna have to pick up a set of the MR2 rears for when I rebuild the rear end on my car.
