TTT. Lou, I know you're tied up at SEMA right now, so please post an answer to this if you get the chance.
Cheers,

Hi guys, I talked to the original poster of this thread a while back, and we decided it was cost prohibitive for most, so I never checked back on the thread.

If you are serious about this conversion, there are many aspects to it, including new rotors ( should you stay with stock) to move the rotor inward as the adapter moves the rotor out. There is also a right and a left side centerlock adapter, which is hard for production because it is not just one simple part to make. Not to mention the individual wheel tastes of each person.

If you are still interested, we can make it happen on a case by case basis. Please contact me via Email or PM, and we can discuss it further.

Thanks

Louis

This may seem like a dumb question, but which thread goes on which side these days, and why? I'm 99.8% certain knock offs from the dawn of the automobile until at least the sixties used a LH thread on the left side. (i.e., rotating the nut in the direction of normal wheel rotation tightened it) Now I'm about 90% certain the LH thread is on the right!

You are correct! Right side gets the left hand thread. This is to prevent the lugnut coming lose.

Louis, still hoping for some pics of these without the wheels on? What's the setup MINUS THE WHEELS? Do the hub adapters mount on the lugs?

We can possibly work out just the adapters/brake conversion setup, and then send the drawings of what needs to be made to the wheel manufacturer of your choice

C4B, I purchased the car from a previous customer and Im not aware of him being on the forum

If you are seriously interested in this setup, please PM me. It is quite an involved setup and I would like all interested to be informed of exactly what it takes.

Thanks

Louis

Im sorry, I completely did not answer that question- I can try to get some pics, but I cant promise anything. I have not had a package like this in a long time, and Im not sure if I have any more pics.

The adapters are bolted to the wheel bearing through the previous holes that the studs used to occupy. The "Drive Pins" hold it to the wheel bearing. The large center nut simply holds the wheel to the bearing. The common problem is that most centerlock wheels are a 4 on 4, where we have a 5 on 4 3/4. That added drive pin is what causes problems with wheel manufacturers.
