Wink The Cossie Transit

Hi,

you may remember my Cossie van from a few years back but it's now getting a bit of a re-vamp.....

18" Focus RS wheels, toyo T888's, 380mm discs, Evo calipers, side exit exhaust, CAIS and another few bits....

Looks awsome!!! You should make a thread up for the work you've done until now as this is very interesting and I'm sure others would like to see it too. Keep up the good work mate.

Those wheels look like such a bodge! Is that really 2 nuts holding on adaptors, and 2 holding wheel on!?!?

Zetec-sam.... it's called work in progress. The hubs are cnc machined as are the bells for the discs. We had it tacked together at this point to make a template for the caliper mounting brackets and confirm caliper to wheel clearance.

So if you mind retracting that previous statement it's anything but a bodge!

Are you blind? Its in the resto and project room not finished! Its being wheeled around the unit on rollers and you're asking why theres only two nuts on each wheel.

You could also have asked why there were only a few bolts holding things together rather than slagging it of straight away.

Apology accepted.
