Hello Stewart;

I have done this as I run the "Fly's" on my car.

These are the three ways I did it starting from easiest/cheapest to hardest/expensive.

1) Go to a hobby store and pick up a 3' piece of brass tubing that is .750 O.D. and .6875 I.D. Cut it to desired length. The part number I have for it is K+S9225. Really easy and works great. $20.00.

2) Get some stainless,same O.D. .625 I.D. Machine it to .6875. Cut to length. This was painful.

3) Have the wheels bushed at a machine shop to fit the M/W studs. I did this with a set that the holes were no longer round. Works well but it cost me $300.00.
