New Front Hubs needed for '88
Hi all,
I need a set of "88 front hubs that will work with my ABS sensor, The 4th gen firebird hubs I tried had a sealed plastic back w a different kind of sensor connector,
Timkin isn't making actual vette ones any more, (parts plus, Pepboys etc) and GM wants mega bucks for the part.
I know there is another answer to this and someone here has the solution.
Help!!
If you have an '88 and a part number and manufacturer for a front hub that really works with the ABS, please tell me now!
Wait, I keep hearing about drilling out the threads on the firebird hub, but the firebird hubs I have don't have a threaded hole to drill out or put the ABS sensor down into.
Does anyone have a PN for the hubs that suposedly work?
Thanks
Evan

Don't have the paet number, but here's the tech tip on the firebird front hub:
