wheel adapters.
hi
im looking at making some wheel adapters to go from kombi/ ford pattern to wide five pattern. just wondering if anyone has done this and still has the
radius and PCD of the two different patterns or some drawings. And could someone please tell me how to hook a taco up, and can an electronic speedo be
fiited to a a VW, if so how?
cheers

badoir.
wide five from fuzzy memory is 205mm pcd, i got some inch spacers/ajusters drilled/litnend $40 each incl fastners & new studs (i doint think
they'll do it again for that price)..., tacho sender usually goes to coil for a firing signal. other tacho wires are either pos or neg to run the
thing. got a mountain bike speedo on bug. liquid nails to hold magent & sender and extended wiring. much more resilient on the vw than on the
dirtbike. |

wheels.

Hey brad can you get wheel adapters to go from say, 4stud vw to holden or ford stud pattern? and also are they legal for road use in queensland?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

I believe wheel adaptors aren't legal in Australia...
They used to be legal in South Australia in the 60s & 70s!!
and You could buy them there...
I see they are still sold in the UK.... for on road use....
its a bit silly if its OK to use them in one country & Not another....
it looks like You can just about get anything registered in the UK... Cars that look like boats... with mud guards,
Cars with no body just a chassis with mud guards...
Maybe no engineers over there!!!
