Centrelock attachment

[Ray Smoodiver]

How do centrelocks attach to the hub?

IE: the 5 bolts into the hub, but what sort of fastener is required / how?

Also, were DTM hubs 72mm width or 90mm?

And were DTM wheels (early 87 / 88 cars) flatbase or drop centre design?

There is a huge thread about this over on S14.net. I'll try and dig up the thread for ya.

Found it.

for the centerlocking hub you are looking at 31.21.2.220.798 (left side with right hand treading) and 31.21.2.220.799 (right side with left hand threading) but make sure to double check this before ordering

bmw price for centerlock adapters is 276euro's a piece, excluding the drivepegs and bolts you need for them (drivepegs are 25 euro's a piece @ bmw)

the centerlock nuts are priced between 90 and 120 euros a piece

Hope that helps.

Magic. That is totally something I didn't think of, roadside changes. Ouch - 600nm.

You can't pull me a figure for the cost of the nuts for the drive pegs?

I think I remember seeing a picture of somebody tightening a set of centerlocks with a breaker bar about 5 feet long or something.
