is it possible to do a 1-lug conversion without fabricating anything and without dropping down a ludicrous amount of money per hub?

Negative ghost rider, that's one area where you don't want to cut corners.

Oh yeah!
The price for the pictured setup is really good. At least $15-$20K for new stuff. But, all you see when they're on the car is the one nut. A look that is easily faked. .0001 percent of the population would even know if they were real. For real 1-nuts, there is no cheap way to go.

You only put on/take off one nut instead of 4 when you take the wheel on/off. It saves time when you're in the pits. Duh.

1 Nut
The 1 nut deal isn't fast unless you got big bucks.. There is a coefficient of expansion (titanium and magnesium) that requires 4 guns minimum. Each side is directional. You need a cold/off-cold/on and hot/off-cold/on guns for right and left sides. The quick sockets and torque adjustable air guns are $6000 a set. That's $36,000 using only two(right and left) for cold work for IRL, Indy, and F1 not counting spares. The alternative is to do them with commercially available air guns and six-sided sockets then manual checking with a three foot breaker bar/torque wrench on 300 lb/ft. Other than top level racing they're for show.Comment
