Mk1 Cortina Aluminium Front Hub Kit – Rack & Pinion, M16 Vented (CS133)

Aluminium front hub kit specifically for Mk1 Cortinas converted to Retroford rack-and-pinion steering, using M16 vented front discs. Based on the CS098*G special-offset hubs, with the wheel face 10 mm outwards and brake-disc face 5 mm inwards compared with a standard Cortina hub. Supplied for both front wheels.

Select the correct eight wheel studs from the options above. Choose whether to add bearing grease and whether Retroford should assemble the hubs for you. The optional assembly service includes grease for assembly.

Fitment

• Mk1 Cortina only, converted to Retroford Mk1 Cortina rack-and-pinion conversion.
• Must be fitted with either Retroford CS028 front struts or standard Mk1 Cortina front struts converted to 2.25-inch coil-over springs.
• For M16 vented front discs, including the CB001V*COMP M16 vented-disc brake kit.
• Not a general-purpose hub for all rack-and-pinion strut combinations.

Specification

• Aluminium front hubs: CS098*G, one pair.
• Wheel bearings: CS030*G, one pair.
• Stub axle fitting hardware: CS032*G, comprising two nuts, two washers and two retaining cages.
• Alloy hub bearing caps: CS036*G, one pair.
• Wheel studs: eight, selected from the options above.
• Wheel-mounting face: +10 mm outwards against the standard Cortina hub.
• Brake-disc mounting face: -5 mm inwards against the standard hub.
• CNC-machined HE30 aluminium hubs; standard Ford bearing dimensions and standard-type wheel stud fittings.

Check the vented disc and caliper clearance to the 2.25-inch spring platforms and the tyre-to-arch clearance. Do not substitute a standard-offset hub for this specific combination.

Choose Your Options

• Wheel studs – required: Select the correct type of eight studs for the wheels and nuts you are using. Longer studs are required because the aluminium wheel mounting flange is thicker than the standard steel hub.
• Bearing grease – optional: Add M090 bearing grease if required.
• Retroford hub assembly – optional: Choose whether Retroford assembles the hub kit. This service includes the bearing grease used during assembly; add separate grease only if you need extra.

Check bearing fit, wheel stud and nut engagement, brake-disc and caliper clearance, and wheel-to-arch clearance before use.
