Who  knows what the stock front wheel hub outer diameter is for a 1965  
monza?

Charles, 
 
There are a couple of dimensions that could be described with your  
question. 1) The front hub has a dimension that the front wheel normally  has to 
snuggle up onto. 2) At the very bottom of that dimension is a tiny raised  
shoulder that the brake drum has to pop over (and usually rust itself onto). 
And  3) with the drum removed, that full hub flange - the one with the wheel 
studs  sticking out? It also has an outside diameter. So you need to pick 
which  diameter you want to know - On you can write down:
 
1) 2.78"
2) 2.81"
3) 6.2"
 
To install the S10 front disk rotor onto the Corvair hub, the little  
shoulder has to be removed so the inside surface of the rotor hat will contact  
the hub face, and the Outside diameter must be machined down to about 5.89" 
to  fit tightly into the S10 rotor hat. PS - Both of these changes must be 
applied  to the rear stub axle flange to install the S10 disks on the rear of 
the  Corvair.
