Hub Unit

Hub Unit

(OP)
I everyone, I have to design or select a good Hub Unit for  13" rims. My first idea was to design the flanges and select bearings that fit with the Upright, but it look like a little complexe. My Second idea was a complete third gen Hub Unit but I don't see how to fix them right in the Upright.
Can you help me or give me some indication to solve that problem.
Thanks

PS: excuse me for the bad English, I'm french!!
Cheers!!

RE: Hub Unit

The hub unit slides into a hole in the spindle, and is retained by 4 bolts. Make sure that it is well supported, your camber and especially toe stiffness are affected by the local stiffness around the bolts.

page 13 of this article shows typical installation details

Why did you pick a gen 3 hub? (Just interested)

RE: Hub Unit

(OP)
Thank you very much for the answer. I looked for Gen 3 Hub because i thought that might be simple but it's expensive so we figured out another way. I'm gonna take a double range bearing and design our own flanges(I know a guy!)
I'll let you know when it's done!!

Thanks again
Cheers!
