Help sorting a quandary,
I have a front wheel hub, it appears to be an early black one and the reliable source (Grubby from MTC Reading) clearly remembers it coming from a crashed Z1-A.
BUT, it has a 4 bolt disc, not 6.
Is there a cross-over? Were Z1-B hubs 6 or 4 bolt?
Incidentally, I haven't yet removed the disc to see if maybe it was re-drilled for a 4 bolt disc?? I will do that tomorrow.

Hi needaz1100r
all the Z1, Z1A and Z1B front wheel hubs had a 6 bolt disc. The 6 bolt hubs are larger in diameter than the 4 bolt hubs.
To my knowledge there were no 4 bolt hubs in those days (73 -74 - 75) for the Z1A.
Perhaps it wasn't the original hub in that Z1A .

Re: early hub
Thanks Phillippe
I knew about the Z1A and Z1. I've never been up close and personal with a Z1-B so just wanted to be sure.
Yours would seem to be the only logical explanation.
Are you located far from Raalte?

280mm disc, original black finish, M8 boltsx4, 9K date code ie 1974.
I am thinking Adrain's H1 suggestion may be correct.
Would appreciate any input,
Thanks,
Cheers,
Mark.

I think S3, effectively KH400.
Thanks Mark, but this is just in my old stock, I can sell it now I know what it is.
Don't need a 6 bolt disc, but good to know you have one.
Cheers,
Mark.
