|
|
I would like to fit some 6 inch cookie cutters to the front of a 71 bay window.
I`ll be fitting 944 front disc brakes with dropped spindles and i was going to be fitting a narrowed beam at the front, but i got thinking - do i even need the narrowed beam or will the standard width work?
Also, will the 7inch cookie cutters fit under the rear arches with adaptors or will i need redrilled drums?
i think the offsets are 6 inch - 23mm, 7 inch - 36mm
Cheers, Mike |

Nice one - thanks for the info.
I`m not planning on going ultra low anyway. I`ll fit them up when i get the bus to see how it looks clearance wise, but its good to know in advance whether i`ll have to budget for a narrowed beam.
Cheers, Mike |
