| Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Several people have used electrical conduit rings glued to wheels to convert them. How-To: Functional 2.2 Beadlocks for under $30 |

| As much as I love to make things myself, in the case of beadlocks, I'd just buy the Junfacs. At 15.00 a set you can't go wrong. Just my opinion. |

| If you just want the look of a beadlock the wheely king rim narrowed looks pretty good imo. A little styrene strip to fill the gap on the outside bead and your done. I could take a pic if its really needed. Just pm me your email addy |

| x2 with SeanD Fab your own parts....unless you can purchase them cheaper. I bought a rear 4 link mount from Yotachump because it would have taken me like 2-3 hours of MY time to machine one(DRO not CNC), plus the cost of material; and don't forget design time. Thats costly. It was cheaper for me to go to work for an hour than make my own. |
