spider conversion
Discussion
nztrev said:I presume that's 5 studs on 114.3 pcd? Is it just a matter of redrilling the standard hubs, or do you need to start with new blank ones?
Are you changeing them to 5x114.3? If so send me your email address,I'll send you some pics.Just done mine
If the former, I assume it has the advantage of being able to convert back to Estorils if you want.

If it was that easy, every little machine shop in the country would be able to do it
The pitches clash no matter how you try it, you need to re drill the standard hub as said and allow some of the holes to break through, however you then need to profile an 8mm plate (front) and a 10mm plate (rear) to take the new captive studs and the loading on the hubs, this fits behind the existing hubs and the studs pass through these, it is then held in place with 2 csk grubscrews from the front. Its easy once someone else works it out.

sounds good have you any photos of finished items does the plate need to go on the outside face of the hub as spiders are a differant offset
