Default Centrelock Hub Adapters: Who can make those?

As per title, I quite fancy having centrelocking wheels, so I was after someone who can make me the adapters.

Many thanks

i've only seen pictures of them, but they look easy enough to make as i've got access to a couple of decent cnc lathes. i think the material is the main cost though. if i had a drawing, or one to copy, i could easily knock them out..

Adaptor plates are one thing , the proper hubs are a totally different concept ! Most of the mickey mouse adaptors ive seen are made of alloy , as is the wheelnut , be very careful with these !

Tony,
Is there a safe way of doing this without the expense of pukka hubs?

Im tempted to say no , but thats not speaking from any experience tho . Some people do have these on roadcars and have no issues but i expect thats more down to good luck .
