Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
That seems to be the best Idea. I just thought I would check to see if I was missing an available solution I didn't know about.

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
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. Allan |

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
I have access to a lathe so I guess I will make some spacers. Just didn't want to miss out if someone had a solution that was just a slip/press on. Thanks

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
If you have access to a lathe, the easiest thing to prob do is to take the 5/8 aluminum wheel spacers and neck down to fit hole, and step back just shy of the thickness of the wheel. Double as a locator/spacer...just my thoughts.
