Doug made a pair of wheel adaptors for my Moggy Minor to convert from 4 to 4 1/2" PCD but that was a million years ago when he owned his own business.
Did you make a similar set for Simon's black Reliant? He's running 5 spoke Revolutions from an old Capri, which would be 4 1/2" Ford pattern so must've been adapted to the Reliant's 4" PCD.
They were powder-coated mild steel & about an inch thick -enough to recess the heads of the wheel bolts down flush.

Saddlebags.
A question for you. I have a Subaru sumo mini van engine/gearbox back end which I am slowly turning into a trike.
The stud PCD is 100mm on the sub, and I have some Nissan Z240 ally wheels with 4 1/2 inch PCD which I would like to fit on it.
Now I have already got one front hub off a Bedford Rascal van, which I cut by hand to make an adaptor, which happens to be 4 1/2 inch PCD. The four disc mounting holes are 100 mm, but the slots where the bolt heads would have to sit need machining out, if you get what I mean.
If I get another hub, would you be able to take some metal out for me, and how much would you want to do it?
Cheers.Doug

I've got another job for you too mate.
Brock, (my brother Steve), needs a part for his drag car. I'll be in touch once he's emailed me a sketch.

Not really mate. I'm in the next country  but I could post them. There is is no big hurry as I have to buy one more rascal hub. I would have had two but I was still trying to get the hub off the van as the scrappy was loading it on his wagon, and had to let it go in the end. I will probably be coming back to Oxford around xmas, so I could nip over then. I will take a picture in the morning. Thanks. |

Scott.
Please see attached pic.
What I have in mind is to bore out the shoulders of the mounting holes, approx 5-10mm, so that there is enough room for the nuts to be tightened up.
