what about just changing the wheel studs? longer wheels studs would fix the problem right? Just adding another option
LOL!!!!I don't think he has quite "$20 million" worth of equipment. Remember there is about 75 years of accumulation of tools there when you consider he has all of my grandfather's tools. I call it wanting to get the maximum efficient use of my time. Others may call it being lazy.:16suspect
I thought that, but it won't work. As long as the shank is longer than the thickness of the wheel, you will never get the wheel tight against the drum. Thanks for thinking, though.
I posted a rebudle . I realized after the fact that my statement was a little off I should have just deleted the post .....but I am not afraid to prove that I am not very smart
Terry I have old style American Racing torque thrust wheels on my Comet. They have a Bellville washer on them with the long shank nuts. These wheels came off my 67 Mustang convertible that were installed in the late 60's new by my father in law. They work with this washer. I think the wheels you have are called Daisey wheels but not positive.
terry, I'll take all that metal woking stuff your dad has, and if he has a lathe, I'll make you your own custom lug nuts Shaun
Can't have it. It's going to be mine one day. He does have a metal lathe. He told me this morning, he wants to try cutting off the shank nuts I have and putting a bevel back on them. He said, "I ain't got any pressing appointments and it will give me an opportunity to try some things." I'll bet he can do it.
They're called "daisy" wheels,but I think they're also called "200-S",they came w/rough cast spokes,polished,or chromed.Kinda like a torque thrust...only different.
We're going to have come with a different name for those wheels. Daisy doesn't quite fit the persona I try to project. How 'bout "Ovalized Torque Thrust.":confused:
