Rookie Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 So I got a reply from Davie Motors. "Hello Well we have something, the closest one we have is: Part# TM441 (chrome finish) Hex Head Length 22mm Shank Length 18mm Thread Length 25mm Wrench Size 21mm This bit you may not like, the threaded part is actually separate and can be unscrewed, can supply a longer threaded part which would give you 44mm of thread. (obviously these would need to be threadlocked in!) " That last bit. Is it still safe? Here is the Catalogue... http://www.davie.co.nz/?id=202 This is exactly what I said to do, it is sweet/no problems/buynow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Why not drop hubs drill out press in studs of desired thread and use normal shank nuts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clown_dog Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Picked up some. They are a bit wide at the top. and a bit shorter which is what I needed. Might need to bore out the wheels to fit the slightly bigger shank though. Pics for comparison. Thanks guys for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 live a little ! cut, hot or cold rolled, the other side of it is 60% rooted anyway, you are well out of whogivesacrap territory. your buying 1.5mm pitch, anything you buy from bunnings is 1.75 if someone managed to wrap their brain around this, they are good to go or close enough to it, spark it up g (a point of interest, steelmasters do tensile 1.5 cut-thread rod, some guy i know who is me dont tell misa, made wheel bolts using it, it turns out shank nuts have plastic cap things on the outside which are not obvious, so dont make a pile of studs that are slightly too long and then have to go and have to spend 1 million hours shortening them to stop the caps popping out) and for frig sack, post a skid picture when you are done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 how many heileis does a 323 have to do before a wheel will fall off? if dave is spinning clockwise at 0.5Hz while in 3rd gear at 5500rpm which wheel will fly off and hit a cha-hooing rot808 first? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clown_dog Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ok, I'm not sure what to do now. To fit the wheels they will each need to be welded, because for some reason they have a tapered centre bore. So when I use my spigot rings to fix the difference in centre bore the wheel doesn't sit on the hub due to it not having a flat mounting surface. See pictures. Without spigot ring. With black spigot ring I have had a quote for $90 a wheel to get them welded and filled in to make it flat again. But not sure the wheels are worth spending another $360 on.... Any suggestions?

Testament Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 do you have a pic of the hub? does it not sit flat on the flat bit where the bolt holes are? you could get another ring made to fit in there and take up the difference? cost might be similar to welding. although welding seems a bit dodgy? who quoted you to weld and machine back?

I've only got this pic on me. Quote to weld was from Bruce at Brugar engineering. He's a wizard and If he's doing it, it will turn out nice. I also have to get the shank bolts (showed above) milled down as the shank is about 1mm too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
