Wanted - Hub for 38cm (380) Petri for an E3

[GolfBavaria]

I found out the Petri I had refurbished has the wrong hub. It is one for a 2002. Willing to trade my hub for E3/E9 hub or $$$$CASH of course. If anyone has any leads on one of these, please let me know. I don't want to sell the hub that fits the 2002 until I find the correct hub I need in case I need to use it as trade.

Does it work on the e9?

He's a hot head and proud of his wares but I remember that Big Ego had one, maybe he still has it and will accept an offer (if you dare, he may go off on you):

Haha! So true.

tell big ego its for a bavaria. he hates coupes and the coupe community. maybe its because he can't afford one.

 

[GolfBavaria]

Thanks for the recommendation but I'd rather look around a little more before I call some douche.

Can you modify the 2002 hub? I know I has a brass pin j stead of a brass ring. I am in the same boat, but haven't investigated yet. It's probably best not to tinker with a vintage Petri hub. My hub is a basic accordion mono hub.

Try coupeking or carl nelson

Yes, according to the tour video that Don posted, coupeking has eleventy billion vintage steering wheels and hubs.

I put a message into CoupeKing Friday and Carl is the one that pointed out I needed a new hub, he didn't have one (that he wanted to sell that is). LOL, anyhow, keep the leads coming thanks, haven't heard back from CoupeKing yet probably tomorrow. I'm sure he got backed up after that video came out.

by the way, the one that ego biggo is selling is not a real Petri hub, its a homemade hub based on a newer style nardi expandable hub - stay away

 

[GolfBavaria]

Good to know thanks, yeah I have no intention of ever really contacting that guy thanks.

The Nardi hub works great and they look Pretty Good.

I am not saying the Nardi hub is better or I would want that over the originial but in a pinch the Nardi hub works great and they look pretty good. And once on the car the difference is not really that noticeable...

looks good to me. it bolts right up? Or do you have to drill and tap the adapter?

Oh wow, ok, I had no idea that bolted right up. I don't have a concourse car so that my be the trick, thank you!!! So, is there a model number I need to ask for? Where did you get that? Thanks again!

You will have to drill/tap new holes.
The mounting holes for the Petri wheel will not align with those on the Nardi or MOMO hubs. These are radially symmetric (the holes are equally spaced) while the Petri holes are not - this is most easily seen by comparing the spacing between the top two screws and the bottom two.

 

[execmalibu]

You will have to drill the 5 holes... Very easy to do.

To convert the Nardi hub just rotate the wheel on the hub a few degrees past the 6 Nardi holes and mark then drill the 5 Petri holes. Tapping the hub works but because the metal is thin I also added nuts on each small bolt...
