I have the same think ....there's a fella up Cheshire way with the remains of a 610 ....can't see him ever needing the hubs as spares but he's playing hard to get :lol:
I'll check properly today and lay ones against the others but pretty sure it's all the same dims .Driveshafts might be the only issue ..not sure on lengths but can compare also and see if track is bigger ,hub height etc

...bigger track would be good. Camber may be different. I can't remember what the GTA hubs look like off the top of my head, stupid really as I've been under the boys for the last few weekends... looked like the 610 had lightening holes I can't remember seeing on the GTA hubs... that was the kind of stuff I was thinking about. 610 subframe is a stiffer beast as well isn't it, does that have the same dimensions in terms of pick up positions affecting track width? Also, the engine assembly is further forward if I remember correctly in the 610, is that the case?

Cheers,
Martin

610 hubs are bigger /brakes further out .Hole for ABS sensor .Bearing is about twice as thick .
610 subframe has some stiffeners but we modded a GTA one for Rob's bent frame so no great difference there .I will compare driveshafts as that will feck it up being we've already cut the feckers ....Rosejoint adjustment still the way to go .

Loads of new seals and tings ....got a bit of a shock with the inlet mani plates/rings but the old ones were shagged so .....
Decided to enamel the ali bits then got the powder coat fella to pop them in the oven .Ali and matt finish need a fair old temp to cure properly and Me-Dawny was not that happy the last time I popped them in with the oven chips .

yeh but no but yeh but ....

They are a bit more involved than I thought .The seal is also a bit more complicated not being a std O ring .They fit to a rebate in the plate and are shaped .......still 150 quid a pair seems a tad excessive but hey-ho they fit and turned up quicker than any UK Renault supplier so all good from Simon yet again .
I've ordered a new header tank as the old one just looks wink now against all the bling :roll: :lol:
