I came across these hubs but I'm not sure if they are for a vanagon or syncro? Any ideas? Front hubs?

They appear to be 2WD hubs turned down from old rotors. _________________ Casey--

They might be going into the scrap metal pile. |

Dave,
If they are in fact 2WD rotors turned down, then they likely are not pressed in studs, they are more likely thread studs screwed into the existing threads. |

Looks like old discs tuned into hubs for big brake conversions
Worth a coin, especially if somebody is doing the upgrade but doesn’t have got the machining to modify old discs.
The studs are just screwed in _________________ 1991 Syncro self made camper van, cruising around the Black Forrest area (Germany)

My front hubs are very similar turned down rotors with lug bolts instead of studs. I think I paid $115 for mine. Other than the odd ground off studs, I don't see anything glaringly wrong with those. _________________ Casey--

Great for big brake mock up. Don’t scrap them. Add in classifieds “free” buyer pays freight. Better than scrapping them. _________________ ☮️ |
