Hub Unit

[Wellchaz]

I everyone, I have to design or select a good Hub Unit for 13" rims. My first idea was to design the flanges and select bearings that fit with the Upright, but it look like a little complexe. My Second idea was a complete third gen Hub Unit but I don't see how to fix them right in the Upright.
Can you help me or give me some indication to solve that problem.
Thanks

PS: excuse me for the bad English, I'm french!!
Cheers!!

The hub unit slides into a hole in the spindle, and is retained by 4 bolts. Make sure that it is well supported, your camber and especially toe stiffness are affected by the local stiffness around the bolts.

Why did you pick a gen 3 hub? (Just interested)

Thank you very much for the answer. I looked for Gen 3 Hub because i thought that might be simple but it's expensive so we figured out another way. I'm gonna take a double range bearing and design our own flanges(I know a guy!)
I'll let you know when it's done!!

Thanks again
Cheers!
