So back to the largest and also hopefully last hurdle, bar new tyres for this change to the Galaxy.
By now we know 14 x 1.5 lug bolts will not work on 12 x 1.5 holes in the Mercedes Benz Wheels.
So at Stupid-0-Clock @Johnnybravo and I were chatting about options, Harley of course being her usual self, security and QC.
Deep holes....
13mm at the rear.
Front view.
60 degree chamfer down the bottom.
Base depth 25mm plus whatever comes up to the surface.
So with JB’s advice this was where I took my search.
Studs sunk into the Galaxy hubs @14mm with a 12mm shaft.
Set with an Allen key and Loctite
And at a silly affordable cost.......
From the top, holding the wheels in place, will be these open ended nuts.
Again, sensible pricing.
So the debate is lug bolts through drilled wheels or lug nuts onto new studs from the hubs.??
Happy to hear opinions based in real experience and science.
Today included collection of the 5th seat back in Sheppey, and a visit to Darren at the shop and a chat about his laser cut sign business.
