Hi Guys: trying to install traction control on the new Ultima. I went to the English Traction control .com site and they show a wheel for the Ultima. yea! well guess what, when I ordered them a nice man from that factory E mailed me and told me to check clearance around the hub. their wheel is about 2 mm to small. Not complaining at least they where thoughtful enough to ask before they sent them.
Now I am looking for an alternative solution before committing the bucks to have a set machined. Any ideas . lee

Spoke to Trigger Wheels the last time the were at the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show and at time they made a disc specifically for the Ultima, I will need some myself soon, so interested in what you find.

Thanks for the input guys, but that is the company that I was looking at. After ordering it, because as you noted it specifically indicates that its for a ultima, I got a note from the company asking me to check the Diameter of the drive hub. their center hole is 135mm and our hubs are 135.36. The wheel studs are to close to the edge of the hub for me to consider turning down the hub. I have asked if they can change the design to facilitate our hubs, no answer so far but its early Monday. If this fails I will have my friendly CNC shop make me a set, but the cost will be 3 to 4 times the cost . Lee

It's a complete long shot Lee but I've a ford Tbird axle with wheel sensors on it. I'll compare measurements tomorrow and if they look suitable shall let you know. You'd be able to source those locally.
