That one could prove interesting. Not heard of that idea before

 

[MicrAde]

I think you have too much of everything frank and need to start clearing some stuff out 'cough' tubby setup 'cough'

i had to use 2 headgaskets last time andy (because the 1.0 pistons protrude out the block if you use a CGA crank) so we shaved a bit off the crowns on a lathe, to clear the quench steps instead

Here's my old wheels on and then my new black 5 spoke.

 

[davyboy]

 

[davyboy]

Have problem with the rears though, don't sit on the bolts properly, fronts are fine, rears don't seem to go on all the way - only half the nut gripping ?????

 

[MicrAde]

Is that a Mazda centre cap? Smaller centre bore?

Hehe have I started a revolution

 

[davyboy]

And another - thinking of doing the bonnet, roof and tailgate black, then black the windows out, sort of gangster style.

Longer studs and proper nuts for alloy wheels needed...

I hope for your safety you're not driving around like that, if they're mazda wheels the centre bore is too small

 

[davyboy]

Good news

Don't forget to bring yer hammer

 

[h701micra]

Its a noise people make when they dont agree

 

[h701micra]

I'll bring 2 and a chisel

 

[davyboy]

The wheels fit properly on the front (full bolt) but on the back that raised bit on the back of the drum cover looks to be the problem - or just get longer nuts ???? bolts even ha, ha.

As you've worked out - I ain't no fitter

You need longer wheel studs and at least a 5mm spacer, if I was you I'd swap back to standard wheels before something happens

 

[h701micra]

Whip wheel off. Pull plastic ring out. Easy

But I caught at least half a thread ................................................... only joking, I know it is not safe - thanks for your concern bud

You bugger 701 - you trying to wipe me out. Nah, I know what you mean - will sort tomoz (text speak)​

 

[h701micra]

Tomoz init
Oh yeah... final instruction... put wheel back on

 

[Huggy444]

And tighten wheel nuts, this is essential (as I'd know )

Ah I remember that... you into the habit of checking every time you get in the car?

Every time I hear a knocking sound I check, and before I drive it...Will probally still make that mistake again some time

 

[davyboy]

I think that ridge bit at the back is the problem - I could get the wheels reamed out at the dockyard ????

 

[h701micra]

Noo the ridge wont go anywhere

 

[davyboy]

Noo the ridge wont go anywhere

They could drill the centre of the wheel out to fit over it ?????

 

[McMicra]

If you were to do that, best take it to a machine shop.

Although Mas told me the other day that a 3mm spacer would work as it would remove the CB problem?

HAH HA - got it, the spacer will lift the wheel out past the ridge, cheers bud, I'll need longer bolts then, I'll get that sorted.

 

[h701micra]

Not with 3mn you wont

Something like that, would you call it safe though Andy?
