Has any one machined off the lip of a car stub axle and redrilled and tapped it for a Bus CV?
I have done this with mine, and it works. I am wondering how a guy could go about puting on another
lip to help center the CV when you replace one in the woods.

Hope your a great welder, thats alot of stress!!

Redrilling sedan for bus is really common. I've hade some with a ring welded on and seen lots that had no ring.

Sounds like you have car stubs that were drilled for bus and a ring added. If your axle nut is 36mm its a car stub.

i used the car stubs that were drilled out i was not pleased with them the walls were too thin and even the one with a ring welded on the outside was week i kept shearing bolts off when i would get on it or the tire would take a jolt then it just started pulling the bolts out of the stub i think i just had a bad set though wasnt done correctly or something :roll:

I haven't had any problem with mine. I just would like to have some kinda ring around it, to make it easier lining up the bolts if I ever break a CV.

I've sold many sets of these and never an issue.
Sounds like your were made out of concentric.

924/thing stubs also use 36mm axle nuts but have the bus pattern on them.
