very good idea. So drill out the stock back ring for 3mm and make a new front face correct? and add in the spacers for the width you want too.

All right here we go first drill out the old holes to 1/8 Then cut out the center. Next i use a cut off wheel for a dremal you can get at the hardware store. |

So fare so good. To make sure it's flat i use a milling bet. The next step you'll need a 2 5/8 hole saw. Make sure your drill is at low speed . Then take your old rings clap it to the new ring and use a 1/8 drill ,drill them out at the same time after you drill one hole use a old 3mm to keep it lined up. |

For the next step mount your new ring to a piece of wood.Then you need a 15/32 drill bet to drill out the new ring to fet the slw hub.d Now take your body reemer just to make it fet just right. |

I have a doner hub for this,drill it out to 1/8. Now you have all the part you need you can use axial spacers of cut out some delrin or aluminum. And there you have it . |

This is a really awesome Tech thread! Thanks for making it! P.S. You sure its a 2-5/8" hole saw and not a 2-3/8" hole saw?? 2-5/8" seems awfully big for a 2.2 disk. Last edited by TURBOFEST; 04-17-2012 at 07:59 AM. |

Turbo... hole saw's are measured outside to outside of the teeth... and take about 3/16" cut out of the material, so you are left with less than the hole saw's outer measurement......... that would be my guess why that size...... | |

Nah, I knew they were measured for O.D., I just didnt realize they took off that much material between I.D and O.D. Thanks for the clarification. |

Did I miss it? What material and how thick are you using for the hub face/outer beadlock?
