LS1 fronts
Is there a way to get or make a hub for the large 1LE bearings other than buying the 1LE rotors and cutting them down? I can get the LS1 stuff for nothing and could cut down my stock rotors but would like to have the large bearings as well.

You can use a 1LE hub and a thicker bracket, it will just push everything out a bit further. The only difference in bearings is the outer one, the inners are the same.

I think there are some other GM cars with our bolt pattern that you could use for the hub that use the larger bearing, aren't there? 70-81 F-body, maybe?

PS: Clarification: The Set 2 bearing isn't "larger" so to speak, it fits into the 3rd gen hub but it's all metal and is just a bit different, taller than a Set 34. I'll post pics of it all later this weekend..

I just turned one into a hub for my '70 RS setup and it's a nice thick hub.

It's getting coated as of today and will be back Friday so I'll check over the weekend. I know it will pretty much fit... I have a 3rd gen hub currently on my 2nd gen spindle but the bearing heights will be different. See if you can follow this:
I have a 3rd gen standard hub on the 2nd gen spindle right now. With bearings installed (Set 6 inner and a Set 2 outer) and a bearing washer and castle nut finger tight, the cotter pin hole is higher than the top of the castle nut. If you insert the pin into the hole, the nut can still turn a bit until it hits the pin as you loosen it. I can install a 2nd washer and the problem goes away so there is a slight height difference in the bearing area.
