Allow me to translate that into 5x5-1/2 adapters with integral concentric rings/locators for the 32 ford rims.

I guess you have three wheels? The fourth fills the barrel back.

What the heck is a udrill hub? What's wrong with drilled hubs? :shock: :cheers:

For those readers who are not aware of a "Udrill Hubs/rotors" here is a picture of my Mustang II Udrill hubs/rotors that are spot drilled with all the possible locations for various lug patterns. I chose to go this route to ensure having the option of 5 holes on a 5-1/2" pitch circle.

Wow. I was wrong all the way around on this one! HA!

It appears the original drums are not flat so the support provides a raised center to clamp against instead of a concentric ring. Obviously a spacer and not an adapter if you drill 5.5 through I’d avoid spacing any more than needed to minimize scrub.

Where did you get the rotors? I recall seeing them in street rod magazines years ago.

A primer for us regular folk:

Decided to part out the second donor bike to clear workshop space. This bike had crash bars that bolted under the engine to the original center stand mounts so I needed some lift.
Considered buying an engine crane but used my Little Giant ladder and a come-a-long, worked fine.

Been a bit lazy what with changing Tig Torch and hose for a smaller size, obtaining a Metric gas fitting for my Welder and changing jobs has seen a slow down in activity. Should be back up soon.

Did get the valve covers polished. Down pipes are Jet Hot coated. All bolts are hex head stainless.

It's been awhile since my last post, various life events like Cataract surgery and a Hip Joint replacement have eaten into the project. Have managed some small jobs:

Drilled the Udrill rotors, installed the studs and trial fitted the Ford Model B wheel adapters.

Installed the components in the Instrument sub-panel. I am using a GPS speedometer because the doner bikes speedo was driven from the front wheel.

As my project is to be a replica of a thirties Morgan I decided to use a Brooklands style steering wheel coupled by a adapter plate to a quick release hub. The hand levers are strictly for show.
