Wheel spacers

[yetchh]

Yeah well the zephyr guys seem to get away with fairly good offset, don't forget that these are fwd 2013 wheels going on a 1965 zephyr so the hubs and bearings are already made for more offset, 

 

Also I talked to Royce Clive today, dunno if I'm being a cheap cunt but they wanted $100 per rim to reverse the centers.. there's only 4 50mm welds holding them together, seems a bit exorbitant to me..

could you do it cheaper?

[yetchh]

Yeah, dunno how straight out would be tho..

Well there is your answer then.

The only reason I asked was because it seemed to be about the same price to add bands, looking at the wheel there is only four 50mm welds to cut then reverse the barrels and re weld.. is prob just a flat rate..  I wa going to go ahead regardless but recent events have put it all on the backburner, cheers for the input tho..

$100 each is all good.

Carefully cut weld.

Sand up rims to look new.

Set up lathe

Fuck around setting up center in correct offset.

Dial up

Tack

Check

Weld.
