Alloy Hubs from GRP4 Fabrications

[ep71]

Hi, I was looking after the ae86 parts in grp4 but I left in december last year so not sure whats going on there anymore.

The ae86 hubs always used an escort grease cap but they were changed to suit a standard ae86 cap shortly before i left.
As for the hub centric aspect, grp4 have been making these hubs for years, since well before I even started with the company and I've never heard that complaint before, I guess they were made to suit the sort of wheels most commonly used on irish rally ae86s.
As for the studs, grp4 supply long studs for fitment to the alloy hubs and the holes in the hubs are drilled to suit these studs as most people buy new studs along with the hubs. They are usually quite tight going in but I have never tried fitting a standard stud so can't comment on that one!
As for the gouges etc. that's something you should raise with grp4 directly if you're not happy. I'll pass on the link to this thread also!
