Having taken the front end of the car apart completely now some of the parts are looking a bit too tatty to put back on. My front hubs currently look like this:



I found a pair of Sierra front hubs at this website (bottom of the page)

Is £90 a pair about right? Or could I get the ones I already have refurbished?

Hi Tom

You need to be aware the conical bits fitted to the S front suspension is a TVR special and they need to be fitted and tack welded in place. (I found this to my cost when it took mine out and had to have they re-fitted by Adrian Venn)

I suspect that sending yours to be shot blasted and powder coated plus new dust covers and bearings will be much less tha £90.

Nice shiny new dust covers were avaialble from my local ford dealer last year Part number 6142524 £3.33 each, Bearings available via your local motor factor as cheap as chips.

Hi Norman

Thanks for that advice - I've a feeling there will be quite a few bits like this where I could trip myself up! I'll add them to the shotblasting pile.
