I desperately need 5 Skyway Hub replacement bolts to get my restored black Tuff II's finished.  The wheels had been painted which was easily sorted with a bit of Nitro-Mors but I noticed that the rear wheel was dished (concave instead of convex) so I had to remove the alloy hub by drilling out the rivet heads.  I then got an old wheel and mounted the flanges the opposite way, with the bearing retainers facing each other inside the hub.  Then I got an old spindle and just tightened the spindle until it pulled the flanges back to their original convex shape.  Job done, all I need now is the bolts and my Fiola replica will be rolling on alloy flange Tuffs...

Skyway bolts would be my first choice but if anyone knows another solution, that would also be cool...

i thin you can get some bolts from b+q that should fit for about a quid  :)

Faze 3:
 :rant: I've bought a set of the rude wheels skyways minus the front flanges, thinking i'll just pick up the front hub later, no problem. :D
but like a previous post mentioned, they are a git to find. And due to by the sounds of it loads of us buying these realitively cheap wheel sets they are getting even hard to come across.

I missed out on a guy from the US who had 2 front flange kits on the bay, but both went for $25 plus dollars. If you can find a front wheel only thats basically had it, they will now fetch £20ish.

 :rant:

I have to admit in the end I've gone and bought a complete set of old knackered wheels and I'll be nicking the front hub from that ;).But even a knackered set of alloy hubbed tuffs cost me £50. look at the state of um

ORB:
they are not ally hubbed tuffs though ;)
