Well not GRP A but thats what everyone seems to refer to them as

cheers

Ryan

 

Yes.



2 secs, I'll dig out a piccy........

 

Ryan

this what you mean






Marco

 

Marco, can you sell me 16 of those please? Fairly sure I need them for these wheels:

 

Not quite as bling

 

Mine are the same as Paul R's ones. They are called grp4 conversion nuts. Well they are on mine as i have grp4 type wheel but with normal wheel studs. West wales rally spares do them for about Ł2.80 each
Marcos ones look like the ones for mk2 escorts with RS 4 spoke alloys

 

Doug Marco's are on the Rally Design website at Ł1.30 each

SN30 I think

 

Can you get light weight versions of these? mine weight loads

 

Doug

just get Brom to order you some in

next day delivery

marco

 

marco can you measure that washer for me please mate?

got a bit odd situation.

could you tell me inside and outside diametre.

Cheers Pal

 

Doug,

Can you sell me 4 of those wheels in 17" please?!!!

 

bttt.

OR anyone else that can measure those washer.

is grp A 16mm OD and normal studs are 14mm?

Cheers

Ryan

 

anyone

 

mine have no washers



and pic was taken ages ago so no im not removing it to measure it

 

Ryan,

Normal studs are M12 x1.5..grp'a' wheels are bored at 18mm to sit on a sleeve with a M14 x 1.5 stud the grp'a' nuts as everyone is calling then are od 18mm id is standard m12, whats the problems you have?

I have loads of these nuts going spare if someome wants some....

Regards

Ian

 

Ian,

basically i've been offered some bells which are off a rally car so the stud hols are bored out to 18mm. AP 330 bells.

The problem i have is need them at standard side to fit my centre lock hubs.

So i wanted to fit collets in the bells to make them fit. I.e either soemthing that a machine shop knocks up or something simliar.

 

so basically what i was thinking was taking some grp A wheel nuts down to a machine shop and getting them to cut the end off so i have a 6mm collet.

 

or which may be easier, but some 18mm alloy rod and get it hollewed and chopped to lengths buy the machine shop.

 

decent alloy rod would be easier imo, shame your not closer could have knocked em up in no time, could you not sleeve the wheel studs with an interference fit sleeve made of steel? or do you want to use different wheels at diferent times?

 

i can send you the bell ian? Its a bog standard bell though? i.e i could give you all the necessary measurements?

its pretty simple what i want. I need a washer the same thickness as the bell and with a OD of GRP A and an internal OD of a standard wheel stud.

So in essense i need metal "hola hoops" pmsl

Will be using 2 different sets of wheels on minw. Slicks & Road.

 

You need 8 of these then?

 

good god how did you that

but yes, if those measurement are correct then thats it

 

The only prob in making them may be if there is any differences bell to bell I can work off some I have here as long as yours are the same, really the fit could do with being pressed fit you dont want em moving under braking i'll knock some up this week and send em down but i'll make tight ooo er missus....

Regards

Ian

 

Ian the centerlock hub sandwiches the bell beween itself and the original hub.

So that would be perfect.

Let me know how much i owe you and we'll settle up once we meet

This is how the centrelock hubs mount.

 

Ian shall i wait till the new bells turn up so i can double check measurements so i dont waste you time?

Let me know.

Cant say it enough mate, your a legend

 

unless ian, youv'e got some spare 330 2wd bells up there

and i'll buy them off you

or if you can knock some up cheap enough

 

Doug, if your putting them on you escos you certainly will as that's what i needed for mine.

 

bling hubs shite mobile

 

 

its a phone mate, it makes calls thats all it needs to do

but true.

tis a shite phone

 

Marco, Tony (nuts) and Richard Pon thanks for the replies.

Ponster, my wheels are not for sale but I will PM you the details of the chap that I purchased them from. He has approx 30 of them for sale with tyres (Perrelli rally slicks and intermediates).....He is quite expensive, and a pain to deal with also, he wants to sell the wheels WITH tyres only..........at approx Ł 200 each......worth a try IMO, especially if the slicks are of use to you.

All mine are shot blasted and ready for painting now:
