So I am using a 4 lug to porsche pattern adapter and I have seem to run into a slight problem.
The recessed holes for the existing lug bolts that secure the adapter to the drum are just a touch to small and I can't get a socket over the bolt head due to this design.
I was able to find a 14mm lug bolt with a 17mm head (Mercedes Benz) rather than a 19mm but the bolt may be too long and interfere with the braking mechanism. Not to mention that the head is about 1/8" taller and doesn't sit flush with the adapter
Just wondering if any one else has run into this problem. If so how did you solve it? |

| What you can do is get a nut that fits the lug bolt, put it on and the cut it down to the size you need. then remove the nut and the nut will straightnen the threads for you. then grind a little off the top to make it flush |
