Help...wheel hubs needed for G60 conversion

[Steven Hauptmann]

Kneale,
Precisely. I am doing a UFO to G60 conversion. I should have been clearer.

I'm sure you are correct on the urS4 parts being the official Audi "fix",
but I think the later 5ktq and 200-10v/converted V8 and urS4 wheel hubs are
the same. A quick check of ETKA tonight will tell the tale though.

My UFO rotors are not warped and I do not have any plans for them as long as
I can get this conversion done.

I would like to get the old girl officially ON THE ROAD before I get rid of
the old parts though.

Do you know where I can get a pair of urS4 (or equivalent) wheel hubs?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Hauptmann

I presume you're switching from UFO's?  I think the Audi-authorized
conversion was to go with the S4 front end parts,  not the 5ktq.

So is there anything left on your UFO rotors?  I'd be interested in them if
so, even if they warped some on you.

Regards, Kneale
