Yeah....they're not conical nuts.. they just have shoulders and look like top hats. Shelby's are the same way. I'm sure somebody could give you some...

Picked up a set of vented knuckles for someone today. There were a couple more sets but I ran out of time and impact batteries. The set I got looks very clean, bearings are smooth and the rotors are even in nice shape under the surface rust. I'll try to make another trip soon and grab some more. Mike if you cant find a set at your local saab guru's place these have your name on them.

since we are on this topic, does anyone know if the hubs themselves are different for vented Vs non vented? I have a set of new brembo vented rotors, and calipers for them from an 87 900-T. I did not pull the hubs from the 87 cause I figured they would probably bolt up to my 86's non vented rotor hubs. can anyone verify this?

Nope the hubs are different. The knuckle is the same but the carrier flange is different.

Ok so I've got a couple sets of these things; some with calipers, rusty rotors and some without. These are getting harder to find as 90% of the cars in yards now have the 88+ style. In "as removed condition" $75 a set would let me break even for hauling these things home.

Sure, can deliver to sandblast.

Now I better get off my duff and make sure I actually have a car ready for sandblast.

I'll take a set too. I don't need them right away so maybe we can do an exchange at some point to avoid shipping. Unless they're in the way and you want to make room, then we can do the shipping thing.

Don't have any more on the shelf besides spares for the rally car, and the pair I am bringing to Sandblast for Per. I'll look for more next time I hit the yards.
