Hey guys just wondering if any one else has had the problem of a conversion hub for the c20xe in a Corsa sheering in two. I replaced one and took responsablity for 'ill fitting of the spacer' apparently. (That what I was told on the phone to lmf.) Any way I purchased another hub and bearing 2 months ago, fitting it correctly under lmf instruction 'only to sheer another one... I didn't think this was a common fault. Would anyone also know where I stand on a refund or replacement part or both. Many thanks

Heard stories before about these being shit.
Why don't you use standard hubs?

IV got Chris ashely shafts with big block cv joints. I never had any issues on my old shell. Only this year in the new one. Running standered power. Just can't understand it.

Wouldn't trust the lmf machined hubs myself, which is why I am now using standard cav hubs, big block shafts, Audi bearings and machined carriers.
If you held a machined hub up next to a standard one you'll see how much metal has had to be taken off to fit Corsa bearings

It will cost a lot more than the conversion hubs, but a lot safer.
