Wheel bolts - ground down or shortened

[lordlee]

Hi All,

I need to take about 1.5mm in length off of my wheel bolts. I have some different wheels than standard on the car an at the rear the bolts just touch the handbrake assembly. The bolts are the shortest I could buy without getting them custom made.
Ideally looking for someone locally to Wokingham but I dont mind travelling a little further.

Any ideas please? Local garage?

You just need a machine shop.
Must be some turners around you?

I had this done a while back for a kit car. The place was in Great Hollands in Bracknell in a small industrial estate behind the William Twigg pub. I don't recall the name but you can't really miss it.. They were also able to turn down some poly bushes.

Suspect it's www.conbea.co.uk that I linked to in another thread earlier

All the time I lived in Bracknell I never really worked out whether "The Hollands" was the place where cars got stolen from, or where stolen cars ended up.

I do recall that on most sundays there would be a car on the roundabout at Mill Pond with a "Police Aware" sticker on..

I think the reason for cars ending up on that roundabout may have something to do with the amount of powder the driver had stuffed up his nose before setting off.
