Has any one machined off the lip of a car stub axle and redrilled and tapped it for a Bus CV?
I have done this with mine, and it works. I am wondering how a guy could go about puting on another
lip to help center the CV when you replace one in the woods.

Sounds like you have car stubs that were drilled for bus and a ring added. If your axle nut is 36mm its a car stub.

i used the car stubs that were drilled out i was not pleased with them the walls were too thin and even the one with a ring welded on the outside was week i kept shearing bolts off when i would get on it or the tire would take a jolt then it just started pulling the bolts out of the stub i think i just had a bad set though wasnt done correctly or something :roll:

I haven't had any problem with mine. I just would like to have some kinda ring around it, to make it easier lining up the bolts if I ever break a CV.

924/thing stubs also use 36mm axle nuts but have the bus pattern on them.
