V6 BA brakes on BG Astina

Hey guys,

Could you please tell me how hard would it be to fit BA V6 hubs/knuckle front and back on BG Astina?

Has anyone done this?

Thanks

after spending 3 weeks searching locally for the parts for my BA, i can say that its going to cost well over $1000 and parts shipped from formaz in melbourne. no idea if they can be fitted to the BG, but they are almost impossible to find. possibly cheaper to buy the grey v6 on ebay for $995...

From search on the forum it looks like the front will fit ... but I'm still not sure about the rears...

I got a mate who is a wrecker so I asked him to keep an eye out for me.

cool! you may have trouble with the handbrake cable, nothing a bit of enginuity cannot fix! good luck on the search! (paid just under $800 shipped for all the parts front and rear for mine. make sure you get non-abs stuff -its alot cheaper/easier to find!)

Wish you posted this about 2 months ago while I still had my V6 wreck sitting around...
Since I sold my astina, I threw the complete wreck in with it... brakes were good on that... I would've been happy to take them off and post them...

Not much use now I guess.
But if it helps at all, the brakes on the V6 are very impressive for a stock setup.
