Just a side question. Could a good machinist take this opportunity to make
the lug spacing 100mm? That would open up a vast number of used wheels for use
on our cars...new ones too of course.
Not sure about this, if the new knurl diameter was big enough to pick up the
old knurl maybe. Hopefully there won't be a problem with elongated holes in
the brake drums.
I had actually thought about an adapter plate outside the brake drum (in the
rear) with counter sunk allen head machine screws on 4" centers, and press in
studs on 100 mm centers. Tap the old holes in the studs. Find a wheel with the
right backspace to make for the width of the adapter.
Any idea how much that would cost?
