Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
Do not stress, you can always fit spacer plate made for Mags, most tyre wheel places sell them, then you only need longer bolts.
Just get the right locating ring for your hub, think the vw is 57 mm

Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
if you need spacers made, I can make them up to any thickness that you wish
car is looking good, would love to see how it looks with the rims on - I think they'll suit it nicely

Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
Whatsapp me, youve got my number (I think).
There is more than one way to make these up, easy and cheaper or properly and pricier.

Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
Mini update
So the car is still at upholstery, Upholsterer took a longer than normal holiday
I cleaned up my exhaust and been on the hunt for a flange to build a Phatboy back box as the stinger is not neighbour friendly.
Got a pair of inertia seat belts and a spare front beam forbthe front adjusters .
Cleaned up the flat face rear drums and had them drilled and tapped to 4x100 .

Re: The Rookie Bug Progress
hi all you bugsters, i am replacing the rear axle bearings on my buggy. I am unsure of the washer size between the outer spacer and the bearing. should the o ring/ sealing ring be compressed against the washer by the outer spacer? in other words first the bearing, then the washer, then the o ring then the outer spacer? please help!
