Scott Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 How could I measure that accurately Scott!? You can still measure it to reasonable accuracy with a rule, you just need to be sure the edge of the rule is inside the bore. From there just eyeball it It'll most likely be 73.1mm so anything around that will be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 No bother. If you are really struggling try this..... Get a pair of stiff scissors or stiff long nose pliers, if you can't get stiff ones then you will just need to have a gentle touch. Put them into the centre bore and open them out so that they are touching opposite ends of the bore. Pull them out and measure them. This is a makeshift caliper (calipers are used in engineering, a lot more made for purpose than rusty scissors but the principle is exaclty the same).

Westy Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Aluminous yellow spigot rings arrived this morning - 73.1-60.1 The wheels had a few scuffs and scrapes, so I am in the process of refurbing them. Will be painting them the same Ford Graphite Grey once ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 mate, the original wheels running M/T's, are they road legal? I've a set on my 17's and was wondering what the law's are because they are imported i thought and the law's were changing as well (read somewhere on the R888 topic).

Westy Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 They have wear bars in the grooves so they should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Me. cool. Did you pull the tyres off, and do the whole wheel, or did you just do the part you can see etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Tyres on mate, just masked everything off. Didn't see the point in paying to have the tyres off then remounted...whenever the tyres are shot I may re do them, but that should be a fair bit off with having the BBSs also.
