Do they fit themselves?

Do they fit themselves?

I wish. Others that will need turning down about £80 but the Washers would be too big so another £40 for nuts with the correct size washers as no one does them separate. Add the lathe time…… 250 don’t sound so bad…..

You need to make friends with someone who owns a lathe.

You don't need new washers if you don't reduce the diameter the full length.

Just machine to a chamfered step to within half the thickness of the washer to the bolt head.

Of cause I just had not got there in my head yet.

I am a blacksmith,for one sixteenth on the diameter I would have filed them out or on a good day used a sanding drum on a Dremel.What could possibly go wrong?,Steve

 1 word - reamer.

 

 

In my view, it's the contact they have with what they're bolted to more than the size of the hole. Looking at the pitting it doesn't look like the contact was that good around the studs anyway.

 

If going for the nut modding option, I reckon you could rig something up with a bench grinder using the nuts' own threads to feed it true to the grinding wheel.

That rim had not been on a car for 20 years.

Maybe so, but there'll be a reason why the outer end of the lugs are in better knick & I doubt it has anything to with being stacked in a corner of a garage. Stick a flat on it, compare with the hubs & you'll get an idea of where they actually seat. Looks like it was cast to accommodate machining for different PCDs

If I understand you. You are on about the mounting face to the drive flange? 

 

that is how they came from Rev. In 1998ish.

Why not give the good folks at Revolution a ring and ask their engineering department's opinion.

[mini13]

Can't imagine them being very forthcoming for liability reasons. They might answer a direct question about what fitment they produced them in, PCD, nut & stud fitting.

I have been in communication with them for sometime.

Just ordered the new nuts and drilling them out should not be an issue as they did drill them out to 11/16 in the past.

Wheels off for a refurb.
