|
|
So this morning's "project" was to test fit the Porsche turbo (7 slots) on the car. I bought 4 to 5x130 adapters and the appropriate lugs and so on. The front wheel went on just fine and looks pretty good. The rear adapters are hitting the rear brake drum retaining bolts however (they're allen headed). I know I could probably take the adapters to a machine shop to have small wells drilled out to accommodate but I was thinking that perhaps there was a source for flush mount versions for the brake drums. As it turns out, since the bolts are on perfect opposite sides of the brake drum, one of them is right in line with an existing hole that one of the newly patterned bolt goes into.
Once again, HELP!
71 SB - Adapter is the one from CIP. |

Remove the bolt that is hitting. The drum will be retained by the addapter. It can't fall off even if you didn't have them the wheel always held it on. _________________ "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value.
