I am currently trying to fit escort hubs, 2.8 capri vented rotors and some m16 calipers,

I have found that the escort hub use the same inner bearing as the avenger, but run a 17mm id outer bearing where has avenger is 19mm, i found some bearings that would fit in, but had even smaller rollers than the escort bearings, so now the hubs are now getting machined to fit the standard avenger outer bearing. using a 3mm spacer behind the inner bearing allows me to run the heat shield still, there is a 1ishmm positive offset, but i will run 10mm wheel spacers.
