No ,you're 100% right .
I was in wheel mode , just drawn up some hubcentric spacers for a guy and had that figure in my head

The point I was trying to make is don't make them dead size to the male bit or they'll be a bitch to fit and get off
Today i have been having a measure up, moving calliper back a little and messing with wheel spacers.
My 16" arrows will not clear the callipers, im have been trying a 3mm wheel spacer on to see how much i can pull the extender back for my wheel to be clear.
3mm was not enough wheels still catching, and to top it of i have scratched my calliper. I masked them up and was so careful when nipping the wheel up, but on taking it back of its scratched the calliper
To get this to work with the momo 16" alloys im going to have to pull the extender back 3mm with washers and probably use a 3mm wheel spacer.
Update on the brakes, i bought the lancier discs, i have had the centres machine and elongated the stud holes. Thank god they fit, i have fitted an m12 washer to pull the calliper back a little to line up, so the disc and callipers are bang on centre
Next problem, im probably going to have to run 5 maybe 6mm spacer to clear the momo alloys. I think the best way to do this will be buy a full stud kit for the car, it will make taking the wheels on and on alot easier.
2nd problem, my brand new goodridge hoses are to short on the front on full lock so im either going to have some longer pipes made or use a banjo kit with a 45* in it, which just might work
Oh the joys
glad your getting there phil
Mate, i know you must be thinking in some respect............."i wish i'd never bothered" but keep at it, it will be worth it.
Its the arrows, i had to grind the back callipers to get them on the back but got away with the front, until now that is. Yet the Williams wheels sail onglad your getting there phil
What style were your mates?
What did you do with the brake hoses, the goodridge are now to short?
Also when searching for a stud conversion what did you end up going foe andy?
A little
New rear discs, bearings, pads another rear calliper, wrong front disc's, new ones machined to fit, wheels now not fitting, spacers and stud conversion kit on the cards, calliper scratched, front pads modified to fit calliper and now my goodridge hoses are to short
Yeah mart was so right
Captain everything on this car has been hard work so im used to it now
i replaced the lot on mine as they where old, but in your case i would use the existing connection from steel or copper to flexi, and buy longer braid hose and new caliper connection,

ollies wheels are speedline turini's , he's got a picture of one on my car up close, about 4-5 mm clearance
phil ,not sure what you mean by stud conversion?
mine are still 4x100, not running any spacer plates
Yeah multi spokes then

No, i read you swapped bolts for a stud and nut conversion, just wondered what you used in the end?
thats on my to do list, just got bolts at the mo, intending to weld in the stud kit into the back of hubs, later this year once the beast is up and running ,and the rest of the niggles sorted out
Great, now i will do the complete opposite
ollie has put up that caliper/wheel piccy on my project thread at last!!
Yeah had a look, multi spokes seem to be the best for clearance. Like i said the williams wheels are fine.
Should be getting a stud conversion kit, then a measure up for spacers on the front.
I also look at the banjo you have on, it looks like a 90* then the brake pipe is put round the front of the strut, is that how you have done it?
