Post by: oldschoolace on April 23, 2014, 09:00 PM

Eh up lads, has anyone got an acorn hub in bits that they can measure the internal flange on (marked in the pic)

If anyone has a set they can part with too that would be ace  ;)

( i know there is a nos set on the bay but they aint worth the money for what i want them for  >:D )

Cheers lads  :daumenhoch:

Do you just want hubs or the actual wheels Clint?

Hubs potentially Steve, depends on the depth of that flange  ;)

Cheers  :daumenhoch:
3mm should just be reet, bigger plans afoot than a simple hub swap  ;)
