Sold almost all my project pieces but just found the Big Brake Hubs and Rotors that I got from Bill Guzman.  They are for the front and have a five bolt Ford pattern.  No calipers included.  New in box.  A few minor mars on them from knocking around in a box, but nothing that should impact use.  $500 or best offer, plus shipping.

Hey Eric, would you mind weighing one of those hubs and advising what you discover? 

I'm interested to know how they compare to the original MG (iron, 4-lug) hubs. For comparison:

1971 MGB GT V8
Buick 215 w/ Rover heads, custom EFI & crank-fired ignition.
Custom front and rear coilover suspensions.

I'm happy to do that, as long as we haven't packed up all our scales (we are in the middle of moving).  Do you want just the hubs or hubs and rotors together?

Hey Carl,

I took a look and the rotors are bolted to the hubs and I have already packed up my tools.  I weighed the assembly and it weighs 16 lbs. for the rotor and hub together.  Sorry I couldn't give you the weight separately.

Carl. these Chevelle hubs are 2 lbs lighter than their cast iron counter parts. Curtis, you could plug and redrill for MGB pattern. The rear seal bore needs to be .040 bigger for the MGB seal.
