Have a pair of hr31 turbo struts but have gone with the non turbo ones instead, due to way I want to mount them behind the hub ( based on the space behind the wheel) in didn't make sense to use them

Didn't even think about s12 hubs I have some here somewhere I might be able to measure but someone has put trailer studs in them with a weird pitch (if someone needs a pair with longer studs ill swap them for standard length ones)

Most likely got 7/16th or whatever ford use.

Just whack them out and put 12x1.25mm ones in.

s12 and z31 na hubs are one in the same.

s12's also have the shittiest short wheel studs too.
i replaced all of mine with new 75mm ones that i had to cut down a bit.

if your looking to run a bigger disc on the back of an s12 hub, make sure you check clearance from the bottom arm.
i had a few issues with the bottom arm fouling on the disc at full lock in my s12, using z32 285mm discs and 4 pots.

Was more worried about the disc mounting bolts being so close the the centre. they might just sheer the disc of the back of the hub, but have since checked out the datsport website and this is the same way they are mounted.
