CS096*JK – Mk1 & Mk2 Escort Aluminium Front Hubs – Standard Offset (51mm)

Lightweight aluminium front hubs for Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts. The hubs retain standard Ford wheel bearing dimensions and standard wheel offset. Supplied as a pair.

Fitment

• Mk1 Escort fitted with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts.
• Mk2 Escort fitted with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts.
• Also fits 2.8 Capri front struts and Group 1 Bilstein struts.

Specification

• Supplied quantity: 2 aluminium front hubs (one pair).
• Wheel bearings: standard Ford dimensions.
• Wheel stud mounting: standard-type fittings with 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) mounting holes.
• Wheel mounting offset: standard.
• Hub depth: 51 mm, measured from the brake-disc mounting flange to the wheel-mounting face.
• Brake discs: solid only; not suitable for vented discs.

Brake Compatibility

Suitable for solid brake-disc applications, including Retroford CB001S*COMP M16 Solid Disc Group 1 Front Brake Kit. Not suitable for vented brake discs because the thicker aluminium wheel-stud flange restricts the available clearance.

Important Fitting Information

• The required Escort front struts have removable steering arms secured with two 3/8-inch UNF bolts.
• Longer wheel studs are required because the aluminium mounting flange is thicker than that of the original steel hub.

For vented brake-disc applications, use Retroford CS097*JK.
