A quick shout out for ATS spindles

[carbuff]

I am curious if the hubs for the '14 and up C7 will work on the C5/C6 uprights. Somewhere down the road I'm sure I'll need a new pair, and would love to hear that GM upgraded the hubs for the newer model!

Brian - I've got a brand new set of the ATS spindles ready for my car if you want to come check them out before I install them

I typed the wrong year and fixed that part. These will still accept C5/6 brakes. I will check with Blake on the other questions, or have him chime in. He's setting up the drag strip equipment today for the local race we're sponsoring tomorrow, so it may be Monday before I have an answer for ya.

Thanks to you other fellas for chiming in.

The Bearings are Direct from General Motors, and are the NEW Corvette Front bearing they are NOT splined like the last version which used the same hub front and rear. they also do NOT have wheel speed sensors as GM is obviously using a different system on the new Model.

The bearing pack is larger than the previous hub as MFAIN mentioned we need to machine the WMS and spot face the mounting surface to install the bolt this was not required on the last models The WMS flange is also approx 30% thicker than in the past.

The bearing packs have the same offset as previous versions same hub diameter and same wheel studs they now have a rubber seal on the back side I presume to keep dirt from between the hub and upright.

Thanks Blake.

When you say new, are these the new bearings for the 2014? Eliminating the splines and the wheel speed sensor would certainly bring the cost down. Does the bearing housing and the thicker flange look like they are the same as the earlier ZR1 hubs? Also, will you be selling the hubs (with the minor mods to fit the ATS spindle) separately for those who need spares or who want to add them to their previously purchased spindles?
