Anyone know the PCD of the wedges.

Thanks

It's an odd one. I guess that there must have been a heavy German influence in the design of the Ford Granada hub, probably at Cologne. 112mm.

You not got enough wedges to measure

[leorest]

Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) or Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) can be measured and calculated on a 5 stud pattern by measuring the pitch of two adjacent studs and multiplying by 1.7013 (Ref Fred Puhn)
So working back from 112mm that should give you 65.8mm between centres of adjacent studs.

Did not know what it was or how to mesure.

So PCD is just the stud pattern. I thought it was how far the wheel's stuck out.

So to just make sure PCD will be the same for all TVR with granada hubs. as I think this is 106

Did you not read my earlier post?

No that would be offset, std on the 350i lattice alloys is 23mm.

Footnote: ET is the short form of the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which literally translates as pressed in (or insertion) depth.

I did read you post, but somone else said told me it was 106.
but they had a Griff, is the PCD of the griff and wedge the same. I thought they should be.

All TVRs have a 4.5" PCD with the exception of the 80s decade. Griffs/Ss have the Ford 3" square and wedges have the Ford 112mm. (So your aquaintance is wrong about the Griff as well, lol.)

[TVRleigh(BBWR)]

Ok thank you.

Just wanted to check. as he is selling 6 spare griff wheels. and was thinking they may come in handy for the BBWRC. if he don't want too much for them.

Unless he's had the five stud conversion done and is selling spiders and you want to re-drill the holes they won't be any use since most Griffs have four bolt holes in their wheels.

lol good point,

So he may have been right about the 106 PCD.

I need to wake up today

No, see my post above. A 3" square does not approximate in mm to 106, that's a Pug, it's about 107.76...

I think I'll just :getmycoat:

LOL. My head's starting to hurt now. Think it's time for a drink instead...
