Orly....
Adapters safe bro...

Have you thought that, maybe you over torked that lug a little too much?

Just saying Ben....

I know that feel. Vice grips on either side of the hub if you can, or drill it out.

There was only enough material on 1 of them to take out with the vice.

I don't always shear adapter bolts, but when I do, I end up replacing the hub and wheel bearing.

Yeah, I'm just gonna cough it up and replace the hub instead.

Spacers with good studs are fine. Its the hardware store bolts that are the problem. I would have used military spec hardware if i was making those adapters. But then again i'm only somewhat concerned about my safety

That's why you're scree name is Einstein guy. ;)

You do realize the same thing is said about the 42 draft ones, right? I had MST (which are the same as adaptec) and i'd STILL rather have mine. I really don't trust that spin-in overlap bolt.

Mine didn't exist when you bought yours. MST was the best because they were the only supplier lol.

These ones are MST

direct fitment FTMFW

Annnnnnnnnd THIS^^^

I can do brinell hardness testing on the adapter hardware if you want to give me the remnants.

I jave them you're welcome to them.

Looks like I'm going to fill n drill my wheels. Those adapters breaking is sketch

Do it!

STFU! The failure is in the hardware, cheap hardware.

Honestly it was 3 bolts that sheared off., 1 of them being that little adapting circle, that holds everything together. I managed to limp home on 2 lugs on the front right side, with the help of Vinny and Dean looking out for me. Thank you again guys.

Yeah I broke two one night randomly on the freeway and didn't know till a started hearing a rumble in the back. I took off the wheel, threw some things and shouted, tightened up the two, limped it to where I was going and towed the bitch home the next morning (tow guy that night was a complete asshat). Drove on three lugs for like 6 months and got it fixed a few weeks ago, only to have chris shear another one when torquing them in. He laughed at how fragile they were, and after arguing with ethan for a couple days, PAID for new bolts. Winning.

except both of your sets broke.

[mkcman17]

Not saying either is ideal, i'd still trust these over MSTs.


Bitches call my up on the phone be like yo, refinance your house. I be like naw I'm sellin that shit. They be like we gonna drop yo mortgage to $390/month with insurance/taxes impounded. I be like fuuuuuuuuuuck.

After many questions to a lot of you, specially The black guy/Terry and Marco, the hub replacement is done. :up:


Thanks a lot to you all, who gave me advice and tech support. :D

[mkcman17]

Holy shit that was fast! Took me forever to get around to it!

These are awesome, too bad the offset is -51 and they're 15s

So what's the point in getting em if the hardware is cheap? Besides it'd cost less to fill n drill.

Edwin, what adapters are you running? Mike, you had those 42 design adapters (sold by 8380 labs) break on you? I thought they said they were supposed to be the best and redesigned to address all issues, etc. etc. For the price, they better come with high grade hardware that won't shear, otherwise what's the point? Can't keep replacing hubs.

[einstein57]

Go on McMaster and order some good hardware. I bet they only provide 8.8 hardware.

The Motorsport Tech ones aka Adaptec

Go on McMaster and order some good hardware. Might cost you $7 a bolt but its worth it in the long run.

Already handling that with GONE002, McMaster can't get such high grade and don't carry that special size. Believe me I tried but, the homie's got me covered for any specialty bolt needs.

One more exam one more exam one more exam one more.
