Default Yet another Big up post

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO








Tony at Touring car spares

Tony has sorted me with a brand new set of Centralock alloys for my Caltex car

We are doing a bit of trial work together so Tony can supply these wheels as a kit with adaptors to fit road cars

I have a Mock up wheel so we can mess about with inner and outer rimms

They look stunning and not even powder coated yet





I will start a post in the resto section so those who may be intrested can see how we get on and then you will also see the finished / fitted items

Also if you can't get the hub adaptors I have a cad drawing of them somewhere. I was going to get a set or 2 made a year or so ago but the min order material was very expensive before even got them machined

Phil Allenby from philloy made up the original adapters that i had for jc donkeys years ago,ask him he may be able to help you Paul,they will finish the car off nicely.
You should have bought mine when you got the shell,i had spare centres and rims,and had the snap on 1"drive socket and 6foot bar as well

Might be an idea to make the centelock adaptor/brake hat so it does not include the thickness on the hub of the brake disc. That way you can run +20 offset like the originals. Make it out of 4140 steel (that way you can run 8mm thick) and get it nickel plated. With 7075 hard anodised nuts. Also means you have to do less mods to the hubs - I did fit ARP cromo wheel studs for a bit of insurance to retain the hub adaptors.

Will take pics of hub detail this week if you want.

thought someone would have done this years ago might not break my 3dr project now..

tbh the hub adapters are the easy bit, nothing to them. i'd make a set like lincolns but in one piece. i was always under the impression the socket and torque wrench were the pricey parts..
